     1.1 What is the minimum current you can inject that will cause at least one spike?

     1.3 How much does a 10-fold increase in injected current from the repetitive firing current increase the firing rate? 
 
     1.4 What happens for a 100-fold increase? Why does this happen?
 
     1.5 Is there any current you can inject to get a half height action potential?
 
-    1.6 Single action potentials can also be elicited by transient current pulses, even when the duration of the current pulse is shorter than the action potential. What is the effect of pulse duration on threshold current for eliciting a single action potential? Generate a plot of threshold current vs. pulse duration for pulse widths between 0.1 ms and 5 ms. Is there a simple relationship between pulse width and threshold current?

What is the effect of pulse duration on threshold current for eliciting a single action potential? Generate a plot of threshold current vs. pulse duration for pulse widths between 0.1 ms and 5 ms (You don't need to write code for this, you can just run the existing code several times to find the data points and then make a plot).  Is there a simple relationship between pulse width and threshold current?

 All of the previously used current injection pulses have been depolarising (increasing the membrane potential from resting voltage). We now try some hyperpolarizing current injections (see 1) above for changing current amplitudes).
