Pyramidal tract neurons are the most direct output to muscles from the primary motor cortex (M1). Liqiang Chu et al (2021) have shown that layer 5 pyramidal tract neurons (PT5B) decrease in excitability in parkinsonian as compared with control M1 in mice treated with 6-OHDA. We built this simulation, based on a detailed motor cortex implementation in NetPyNE, to see how the changed PT5B neuron excitability changes M1 spiking dynamics.

NetPyNE is a Python package for creating biological neural networks using the NEURON simulator.
