TITLE calcium accumulation for STh
COMMENT
Calcium accumulation into a volume of area*depth next to the
membrane with an exponential decay (time constant tau) to resting
level (given by the global calcium variable cai0_ca_ion).
How the q10 works: There is a q10 for the rates (alpha and beta's)
called Q10 and a Q10 for the maximum conductance called gmaxQ10. The
q10s should have been measured at specific temperatures temp1 and
temp2 (that are 10degC apart). Ideally, as Q10 is temperature
dependant, we should know these two temperatures. We used to
follow the more formal Arrhenius derived Q10 approach. The
temperature at which this channel's kinetics were recorded is tempb
(base temperature). What we then need to calculate is the desired
rate scale for now working at temperature celsius (rate_k). This was
given by the empirical Arrhenius equation, using the Q10, but now is
using the quick Q10 approximation.
