Calcium decay: internal calcium concentration due to calcium currents and pump. Written by a destexhe nov 1992, published in destexhe, babloyantz and sejnowski (1993), also destexhe et al. (1994). Modified by y poirazi apr 2001 to account for ca2+ spike repolarization observed in golding et al. (1999). Adapted from mainen & sejnowski (1996), model no. 2488. This is a modeling study, and the animal model is considered to be rat. The authors compare the model to experimental results mostly in rats (e.g. Magee 1998, spruston et al. 1995) and the morphology used is also from rat (2 months old, cannon et al. 1998, n123). Channel kinetics come from various sources.
Temperature:
No apparent temperature dependence. Simulations were done at 34 deg C.
