COMMENT
A synaptic current with dual exponential function conductance defined by
        i = g * (v - e)      i(nanoamps), g(micromhos);
        where
         g = 0 for t < onset and
         g = gmax*((tau1*tau2)/(tau1-tau2)) *
                             (exp(-(t-onset)/tau1)-exp(-(t-onset)/tau2))
         for t > onset (tau1 and tau2 are fast and slow time constants)
