TITLE gsquid.mod squid potassium channel
: FORREST MD (2014) Two Compartment Model of the Cerebellar Purkinje Neuron
COMMENT
This is the original Hodgkin-Huxley treatment for the set of sodium,
potassium, and leakage channels found in the squid giant axon membrane.
("A quantitative description of membrane current and its application
conduction and excitation in nerve" J.Physiol. (Lond.) 117:500-544 (1952).)
Membrane voltage is in absolute mV and has been reversed in polarity
from the original HH convention and shifted to reflect a resting potential
of -65 mV.
Initialize this mechanism to steady-state voltage by calling
rates_gsquid(v) from HOC, then setting m_gsquid=minf_gsquid, etc.
Remember to set celsius=6.3 (or whatever) in your HOC file.
See hh1.hoc for an example of a simulation using this model.
