TITLE Motoneuron L-type Calcium channels
COMMENT
Comments from Original Implementation:
The parameters for this current come from V. Booth et al. J Neurophysiol 78:3371-3385, 1997
Iterative equations
Modified by RP to provide calcium to a separate pool (caL)and to have adjustable equilibrium
potential vca
