T-type Calcium currents (McRory et al 2001)

NEURON mod files for CaT currents from the paper McRory et al., J.Biol.Chem. 276:3999 (2001). In this paper, three members (alpha-1G, -1H, and -1I) of the LVA calcium channels family were studied. Kinetic parameters were derived from functional expression in transfected cells.

Model Type: Channel/Receptor

Model Concept(s): Ion Channel Kinetics

Simulation Environment: NEURON

Implementer(s): Hines, Michael [Michael.Hines at Yale.edu]
