The neurons that manage information encoding, transferring, and processing with high energy consumption, displaying a phenomenon called slow afterhyperpolarization after burst firing, whose properties are affected by the energy conditions. Here we constructed a thermodynamical model to quantitatively describe the sAHP process generated by $Na^+-K^+$ ATPases(NKA) and the Calcium-activated potassium(K(Ca)) channels. The model simulates how the amplitude of sAHP is effected by the intracellular ATP concentration and ATP hydrolysis free energy $Δ$ G. The results show a trade-off between NKA and the K(Ca)'s modulation on the sAHP's energy dependence, and also predict an alteration of sAHP's behavior under insufficient ATP supply if the proportion of NKA and K(Ca)'s expression quantities is changed. The research provides insights in understanding the maintenance of neural homeostasis and support furthur researches on metabolism-related and neurodegenerative diseases.
