This work contains a NEURON model for a layer 5 pyramidal neuron (based on Hay et al., 2011) with distributed groups of synapses across the basal and tuft dendrites. The results of that simulation are used to fit a phenomenological model, which is also included in this file.

COMMENT
modified from syn2.mod
injected current with exponential rise and decay current defined by
         i = 0 for t < onset and
         i=amp*((1-exp(-(t-onset)/tau0))-(1-exp(-(t-onset)/tau1)))
          for t > onset

	compare to experimental current injection:
 	i = - amp*(1-exp(-t/t1))*(exp(-t/t2))

	-> tau1==t2   tau0 ^-1 = t1^-1 + t2^-1
