-Running the kinetics_na.hoc or kinetics_k.hoc simulation files 
+- Running the kinetics_na.hoc or kinetics_k.hoc simulation files 
 will show the activation and inactivation steady-states, 
 the time constants, and a family of curves generated modeling 
 the same protocols used in the paper.

+- Markers show the experimental values estimated from Figs.4C 
 (Na), 8C (KA), and 10C (KDR) of the paper.
 Note that m is used rather than the more usual m^3 for activation
 of the Na current. Na recovery from inactivation is not implemented.
