TITLE gsquid.mod   squid potassium channel
 
COMMENT

This is adapted for CVODE (by Brown et al 2010) from the original
Hodgkin-Huxley treatment for the set of sodium, potassium, and leakage
channels found in the squid giant axon membrane.("A quantitative
description of membrane current and its application conduction and
excitation in nerve" J.Physiol. (Lond.) 117:500-544 (1952).) Membrane
voltage is in absolute mV and has been reversed in polarity from the
original HH convention and shifted to reflect a resting potential of
close to -65 mV. (This text was written by SW Jaslove 6 March, 1992,
with exception of the clause "adapted for CVODE(by Brown et al
2010)".)
