Neuron tree topology equations can be split into two subtrees and solved on different processors with no change in accuracy, stability, or computational effort; communication costs involve only sending and receiving two double precision values by each subtree at each time step. Application of the cell splitting method to two published network models exhibits good runtime scaling on twice as many processors as could be effectively used with whole-cell balancing.

TITLE Calcium low threshold T type current version a for RD Traub 2005

COMMENT
	This current is found in the model deepLTS cells
	Traub made this model modifying Huguenard and Prince 1992 as
	appeared on Destexhe et al 1996 (in vivo in vitro ...)
	Modification by Tom Morse for Traub et al 2005
	modified from
	Implementation by Maciej Lazarewicz 2003 (mlazarew@seas.upenn.edu)
