TITLE Fast A-type potassium current (Kv4.2)
COMMENT
neuromodulation is added as in two ways:
1. A shift parameter is added to the infinity curves that can be used to shift the voltage
dependece of the channel. By deafult this does not also shift the time constant.
2. A function that scales the conductance of the channel (voltage independent).
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}
