TITLE High voltage activated calcium current (CaHVA) of deep cerebellar nucleus (DCN) neuron
COMMENT
    Translated from GENESIS by Johannes Luthman and Volker Steuber. 
    This mechanism and the other calcium channel (CaLVA.mod) are the only channel
    mechanisms of the DCN model that use the GHK mechanism to calculate reversal
    potential. Thus, extracellular Ca concentration is of importance and shall be 
    set from hoc.

    Calcium entering the neuron through this channel is kept track of by CaConc.mod
    and affects the conductance of the SK.mod channel mechanism.
