Channel 108458-CaT

General data

• ICG id: 74
• ModelDB id: 108458
• Reference: Kampa BM, Stuart GJ (2006): Calcium spikes in basal dendrites of layer 5 pyramidal neurons during action potential bursts.

Metadata classes

• Animal Model: Wistar, rat
• Brain Area: somatosensory cortex, layer 5, cortex
• Neuron Region: dendrites
• Neuron Type: pyramidal cell
• Runtime Q: Q1 (fast)
• Subtype: T-type

Metadata generic

• Age: 3-4 weeks old
• Authors: B Kampa
• Comments: T-type calcium channel, originally from thalamic ca current inspired by destexhe and huguenard. Uses fixed eca instead of ghk equation. Modified by as, 1999, modified by b kampa, 2005. Paper cites schaefer et al. (2003), model no. 22203, as ancestor model, which does not contain a t-type calcium channel mod file. Ancestor file is unclear. Animal model is from experiments in this study. Kinetics based off of previous studies on cortical and hippocampal pyramidal neurons.
• Runtime: 7.2
• Temperature: No apparent temperature dependence.
