Older models have been made use of as references. Most of the astrocyte models utilized the Ca2+ dynamics models by De Young and Keizer (1992) and Li and Rinzel (1994), or even a modification of them, although these two models have been not created to describe astrocytic behavior (Manninen et al., 2018). Thus, the specifics of these models (De Young and Keizer, 1992; Li and Rinzel, 1994) have been not listed. Models are in alphabetical order, first are models that utilised the models by De Young and Keizer (1992) and Li and Rinzel (1994) as references, second will be the models that used the model by H er et al. (2002) as reference, third are the models that combined all three models (De Young and Keizer, 1992; Li and Rinzel, 1994; H er et al., 2002), and final are models that had been depending on some other models, for example the models by Sneyd et al. (1994), Keener and Sneyd (1998, 2009), and Houart et al. (1999) (see section three). It really is worth noting that most of the above-mentioned models have adapted CICR model presented by Bezprozvanny et al. (1991) as basis of their models.2.two. Choice of ModelsThe number of computational astrocyte models has improved more than the previous couple of years. This boost inside the quantity of models does not, on the other hand, solely reflect the vast level of experimental data that may be at present presented for astrocytesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience | www.Oxybuprocaine MedChemExpress frontiersin.orgApril 2018 | Volume 12 | ArticleManninen et al.Models for Astrocyte FunctionsTABLE 1 | List of astrocyte and neuron-astrocyte models published each and every year.
