These are two or triple-exponential models of the voltage-dependent NMDA receptors. Conductance of these receptors increase voltage-dependently with a "Hodgkin and Huxley-type" gating style that is also depending on glutamate-binding. Time course of the gating of these receptors in response to glutamate are also changing voltage-dependently. Temperature sensitivity and desensitization of these receptor are also taken into account. Three previous kinetic models that are able to simulate the voltage-dependence of the NMDARs are also imported to the NMODL. These models are not temperature sensitive. These models are compatible with the "event delivery system" of NEURON. Parameters that are reported in our paper are applicable to CA1 pyramidal cell dendrites.

/* This experiment is the same as the experiment 3 but we extended our
data to include NMDAR current simulated by NMDA16 (Clarke's and Johnson's Model)
when membrane voltage is clamped to an AP.

We did this because we wanted to make MgBlock degree in our model 
comparable to the previous kinetic model
