" ... To study the mechanisms underlying SCS (Spinal cord stimulation), we constructed a biophysically-based network model of the dorsal horn circuit consisting of interconnected dorsal horn interneurons and a wide dynamic range (WDR) projection neuron and representations of both local and surround receptive field inhibition. We validated the network model by reproducing cellular and network responses relevant to pain processing including wind-up, A-fiber mediated inhibition, and surround receptive field inhibition. ..."

COMMENT
Patterned after svclmp.mod, a single electrode Voltage clamp mechanism.
Unlike svclmp.mod, this has one level--amp--and it delivers current i 
for t<=toff (even t<0).

Clamp is on at time 0, and off after time toff.
When clamp is off the injected current is 0.
i is the injected current, vc measures the control voltage.

For other comments and important implementational details, 
especially "why SOLVE icur METHOD after_cvode ???", 
see the comments in svclmp.mod
