TITLE BK Ca 2+ -activated K + channel
: Calcium activated K channel.
COMMENT
Starting from the formulation in De Schutter and Bower, 1994, we
reduced the Ca 2+ dependent activation time to half to account for the larger slow repolarisation at
depolarised states.
Current Model Reference: Karima Ait Ouares , Luiza Filipis , Alexandra Tzilivaki , Panayiota Poirazi , Marco Canepari (2018) Two distinct sets of Ca 2+ and K + channels
are activated at different membrane potential by the climbing fibre synaptic potential in Purkinje neuron dendrites.
