This paper presents a full spiking, biophysically detailed multi-compartment model of a human cortical layer 5 (L5) pyramidal cell, where model development was primarily based on morphological and electrophysiological data from the same neuron. Focus was placed on capturing distinctly human dynamics of the h-channel and led to the articulation of a novel model of this channel's dynamics in humans. This led to an explanation for the surprising lack of subthreshold resonance seen in these cells in the human as opposed to rodent setting.

COMMENT
izap.mod

Delivers an oscillating current that starts at t = del >= 0.
The frequency of the oscillation increases linearly with time
from f0 at t == del to f1 at t == del + dur, 
where both del and dur are > 0.

Uses event delivery system to ensure compatibility with adaptive integration.

COMMENT
The angular velocity in radians/sec is w = 2*PI*f, 
where f is the instantaneous frequency in Hz.

Assume for the moment that the frequency ramp starts at t = 0.
f = f0 + (f1 - f0)*t/dur

Then the angular displacement is
theta = 2*PI * ( f0*t + (f1 - f0)*(t^2)/(2*dur) ) 
      = 2*PI * t * (f0 + (f1 - f0)*t/(2*dur))
But the ramp starts at t = del, so just substitute t-del for every occurrence of t
in the formula for theta.
