COMMENT
calcium accumulation into a volume of area*depth next to the
membrane with a decay (time constant tau) to resting level
given by the global calcium variable cai0_ca_ion
Modified to include a resting current (irest) and peak value
(cmax)
i is a dummy current needed to force a BREAKPOINT
ENDCOMMENT
COMMENT
added parameter gamma to model the percentage of free calcium,
similarly to what is done in the CaDynamics_E2 mechanism, which
is itself a modified version of Destexhe et al., 1994.
