Since this is responsible for adaptation and for many types of
bursting dynamics, I want to describe the calcium dependent potassium.
There are a number of models for this. The simplest are of the form:

where
![\begin{displaymath}
\frac{dm}{dt}=\alpha_m([Ca])(1-m)-\beta m\end{displaymath}](img52.gif)
and
![\begin{displaymath}
\alpha_m([Ca]) = \alpha [Ca]^n_{in}. \end{displaymath}](img53.gif)
McCormick et al use n=2 and
and 
I will make a very general model which incorporates most of the
currents that are of interest.
