COMMENT

26 Ago 2002 Modification of original channel to allow variable time
step and to correct an initialization error.

Neuroscience. Obidos, Portugal

    Glitch in trap where (v/th) was where (v-th)/q is. (thanks Ronald
van Elburg!)

na.mod

Sodium channel, Hodgkin-Huxley style kinetics.  

Kinetics were fit to data from Huguenard et al. (1988) and Hamill et
al. (1991)

qi is not well constrained by the data, since there are no points
between -80 and -55.  So this was fixed at 5 while the thi1,thi2,Rg,Rd
were optimized using a simplex least square proc

voltage dependencies are shifted approximately from the best
fit to give higher threshold
