: Calcium ion accumulation with endogenous buffers, DCM and pump

COMMENT

The basic code of Example 9.8 and Example 9.9 from NEURON book was adapted as:

1) Extended using parameters from Schmidt et al. 2003.
2) Pump rate was tuned according to data from Maeda et al. 1999
3) DCM was introduced and tuned to approximate the effect of radial diffusion
