NEURON {
SUFFIX cortical_axon_i_na
USEION na WRITE ina : Using na ion, treat the reversal potential as a parameter and write to ina so the total na current can be tracked
RANGE g_Na, i_Na : Sodium current, specific conductance and equilibrium potential
}
PARAMETER {
ena = 60 (mV)
i_Na = 0.0 (mA/cm2) : Parameter to record this current separately to total sodium current
g_Na = 0.4 (S/cm2) : Default is assuming AIS
Q_s = 3.209 : Temperature rescaling - Q_10 = 2.3 => Q_s = (Q_10)^((37-23)/10) = 3.209
