UNITS {
(mV) = (millivolt)
(mA) = (milliamp)
(S) = (siemens)
}
NEURON {
SUFFIX cortical_soma_i_na
USEION na WRITE ina : Using na ion, treat the reversal potential as a parameter and write to ik so the total k current can be tracked
RANGE g_Na, i_Na : Sodium current, specific conductance and equilibrium potential
}
PARAMETER {
ena = 50 (mV)
i_Na = 0.0 (mA/cm2) : Parameter to record this current separately to total sodium current
g_Na = 50e-3 (S/cm2)
V_T = -55(mV)

ina = g_Na*m*m*m*h*(v - ena)
i_Na = ina : Record i_Na (just this sodium current) to check it is working
