TITLE intracellular calcium accumulation
COMMENT
intracellular Ca2+ accumulation
From:
Notes:
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
Ions: ca
From: Modified from Aradi & Holmes 1999
Updates:
2014 December (Marianne Bezaire): documented
