  Procedure for localizing T-current in distal dendrites

	- Reconstructed thalamic RE cell with 80 compartments (re80)
	- currents must be localized everywhere

	first parameter: somatic and proximal dendritic conductance
	secnd parameter: medial dendritic conductance
	third parameter: distal dendritic conductance
