The model contains three different isoforms of the calcium L- type
channels (Cav1.2 α1-subunit, long and short Cav1.3 α1-subunit splice
variants) according to the data and the descriptions of Ortner et al.,
2017 J Neurosci.
Since calcium overload confers the susceptibility of SNc neurons to
neurodegeneration. our work described the impact of the those different
L- type calcium isoforms in calcium accumulation, action potential firing
and burst firing (NMDA-induced) of the SNc neurons.
