kca2.mod
Calcium-dependent potassium channel
Based on
Pennefather (1990) -- sympathetic ganglion cells
taken from
Reuveni et al (1993) -- neocortical cells
Author: Zach Mainen, Salk Institute, 1995, zach@salk.edu
modified Jan,2000 by RKP;modified July 2005 to include a contribution from calcium
flowing through L channels
