The model in this paper accounts for the natural variation and responses to ion substition and modulation by GHRH and somatostatin seen in pituitary somatotrophs.

This XPP file reproduces figure 4 and, with parameter variations as described in the figure legends, the other figures in the paper:

• Natural variation in period reproduced by block of BK channels (Figure 4)
