Detailed Description

Base Class for all active ionic channels using ion gates.

The Model

Generic active channel with arbitray number of ion gates . is computed as

where is the maximal conductance, and is fraction of -type gates currently open.

Note that no specific gates are modeled. Instead arbitrary ion gate objects can be connected to the channel.

Input/Output Signals

Same as for class IonChannel .

Public Attributes

• float Gbar

Protected Attributes

• int nGates

  The number of ion gates.
  
  

• int lGates

  Memory currently allocated for ion gates.
