TITLE Triple-exp model of NMDAR has (HH-type gating) (temp. sensitivity) (voltage-dependent time constants) (desensitization)
COMMENT
This is a Triple-exponential model of an NMDAR
that has a slow voltage-dependent gating component in its conductance
time constants are voltage-dependent and temperature sensitive
Mg++ voltage dependency from Spruston95 -> Woodhull, 1973
Desensitization is introduced in this model. Actually, this model has 4 differential equations
becasue desensitization is solved analitically. It can be reduced to 3 by solving its A state analitically.
For more info read the original paper.

: Hestrin90 CA1 soma [Mg=1 v=-40 celcius=30-32] the decay of the NMDA component of the EPSC recorded at temperatures above 30 degC
: the fast phase of decay, which accounted for 65%-+12% of the decay, had a time constant of 23.5-+3.8 ms,
: whereas the slow component had a time constant of 123-+83 ms.
: wtau2= 0.78 Spruston95 CA1 dend [Mg=0 v=-80 celcius=18] percentage of contribution of tau2 in deactivation of NMDAR
Q10_tau1 = 2.2 : Hestrin90

T0_tau = 35 (degC) : reference temperature
: Hestrin90 CA1 soma [Mg=1 v=-40 celcius=31.5->25] The average Q10 for the rising phase was 2.2-+0.5,
: and that for the major fast decaying phase was 3.5-+0.9
tp = 30 (ms) : time of the peack -> when C + B - A reaches the maximum value or simply when NMDA has the peack current
: tp should be recalculated when tau1 or tau2 or tau3 changes
: Parameters control desensitization of the channel
: these values are from Fig.3 in Varela et al. 1997
: the (1) is needed for the range limits to be effective
d1 = 0.2 (1) < 0, 1 > : fast depression

: Parameters Control voltage-dependent gating of NMDAR
tauV = 7 (ms) <1e-9,1e9> : Kim11
: at 26 degC & [Mg]o = 1 mM,
: [Mg]o = 0 reduces value of this parameter
: Because TauV at room temperature (20) & [Mg]o = 1 mM is 9.12 Clarke08 & Kim11
: and because Q10 at 26 degC is 1.52
: then tauV at 26 degC should be 7
gVDst = 0.007 (1/mV) : steepness of the gVD-V graph from Clarke08 -> 2 units / 285 mv
gVDv0 = -100 (mV) : Membrane potential at which there is no voltage dependent current, from Clarke08 -> -90 or -100
gVI = 1 (uS) : Maximum Conductance of Voltage Independent component, This value is used to calculate gVD
Q10 = 1.52 : Kim11
T0 = 26 (degC) : reference temperature
celsius (degC) : actual temperature for simulation, defined in Neuron
: Parameters Control Mg block of NMDAR
Mg = 1 (mM) : external magnesium concentration from Spruston95
K0 = 4.1 (mM) : IC50 at 0 mV from Spruston95
delta = 0.8 (1) : the electrical distance of the Mg2+ binding site from the outside of the membrane from Spruston95
: The Parameter Controls Ohm haw in NMDAR
