Detailed Description

The CaConc object manages calcium dynamics in a single compartment without diffusion. It uses a simple exponential return of Ca to baseline, with influxes from ion channels. It solves the equation: dC/dt = B*Ik - C/tau where Ca = Ca_base + C.

From the GENESIS notes: In SI units, where concentration is moles/m^3 (milli-moles/liter) and current is in amperes, theory gives B = 5.2e-6/(shell volume). In practice, B is a parameter to be fitted or estimated from experiment, as buffering, non-uniform distribution of Ca, etc., will modify this value. If thick = 0, the readcell routine calculates B by dividing the "density" parameter in the cell parameter file by the volume of the compartment. Otherwise, it scales as a true shell, with the volume of a shell having thickness thick. A negative value of the "density" parameter may be used to indicate that it should be taken as an absolute value of B, without scaling.
