TITLE hyperpolarization-activated channel - h current
COMMENT
Ih current - hyperpolarization-activated nonspecific Na and K channel
- contributes to the resting membrane potential
- controls the afterhyperpolarization
Used in CCK+, OLM, VIP+/CCK+, VIP+/CR+ cells.

V1/2 = -84.1 mV
k = 10.2
reversal potential = -32.9 +/- 1.1 mV
at -70 mV, currents were fitted by a single exponetial of t = 2.8+/- 0.76 s
at -120 mV, two exponentials were required, t1 = 186.3+/-33.6 ms
t2 = 1.04+/-0.16 s

single channel conductance is around 1 pS
average channel density is below 0.5 um-2
0.5 pS/um2 = 0.00005 mho/cm2 = 0.05 umho/cm2

Deals with Ih in CA1 pyramidal cells. Finds that conductance density increases with distance from the soma.
soma g = 0.0013846 mho/cm2
dendrite g (300-350 um away) = 0.0125 mho/cm2
