If we add 1 spines worth of calcium per compartment, hopefully that will restore activity to the spine state:
increment for no spines (uses 0.9e-10*(165/205), ~0.7, as comp SA:
gCaR 6.43e-7
gCaT 0.58e-8
gCaL12 0.83e-7
gCaL13 1.07e-7
Each spine contributes RM/SA and CM*SA.  Thus, removing the spines requires and increase in CM and decrease in RM to compensate.  But increase should be proportional to relative area of spine head, e.g. ~1e-12 for spine vs 0.84e-10 for secdend, and 0.909e-10 (tert)
