TITLE HVA L-type calcium current (Cav1.2)
COMMENT
neuromodulation is added as functions:
modulation = 1 + damod*(maxMod-1)*level
where:
damod [0]: is a switch for turning modulation on or off {1/0}
maxMod [1]: is the maximum modulation for this specific channel (read from the param file)
e.g. 10% increase would correspond to a factor of 1.1 (100% +10%) {0-inf}
level [0]: is an additional parameter for scaling modulation.
Can be used simulate non static modulation by gradually changing the value from 0 to 1 {0-1}

COMMENT
Activation curve was reconstructed for cultured NAc neurons from P5-P32
Charles River rat pups [1]. Activation time constant is from the
rodent neuron culture (both rat and mouse cells), room temperature 22-25
C [2, Fig.15A]. Inactivation curve of CaL v1.3 current was taken from HEK
cells [3, Fig.2 and p.819] at room temperature.
Original NEURON model by Wolf (2005) [4] was modified by Alexander Kozlov
<akozlov@kth.se>. Kinetics of m1h type was used [5,6]. Activation
time constant was refitted to avoid singularity.
