TITLE decay of submembrane calcium concentration
:
: Internal calcium concentration due to calcium currents and pump.
: Differential equations.
:
: This file contains two mechanisms:
:
: 1. Simple model of ATPase pump with 3 kinetic constants (Destexhe 1992)
:
: Cai + P <-> CaP -> Cao + P (k1,k2,k3)
:
: A Michaelis-Menten approximation is assumed, which reduces the complexity
: of the system to 2 parameters:
: kt = <tot enzyme concentration> * k3 -> TIME CONSTANT OF THE PUMP
: kd = k2/k1 (dissociation constant) -> EQUILIBRIUM CALCIUM VALUE
: The values of these parameters are chosen assuming a high affinity of
: the pump to calcium and a low transport capacity (cfr. Blaustein,
: TINS, 11: 438, 1988, and references therein).
:
: For further information about this this mechanism, see Destexhe, A.
: Babloyantz, A. and Sejnowski, TJ. Ionic mechanisms for intrinsic slow
: oscillations in thalamic relay neurons. Biophys. J. 65: 1538-1552, 1993.
:
:
: 2. Simple first-order decay or buffering:
:
: Cai + B <-> ...
:
: which can be written as:
:
: dCai/dt = (cainf - Cai) / taur
:
: where cainf is the equilibrium intracellular calcium value (usually
: in the range of 200-300 nM) and taur is the time constant of calcium
: removal. The dynamics of submembranal calcium is usually thought to
: be relatively fast, in the 1-10 millisecond range (see Blaustein,
: TINS, 11: 438, 1988).
:
: All variables are range variables
