+# NEURON mod files for the Na, K-A, and K-DR currents
+
+from the paper:
+Safronov and Vogel, *J.Physiol.* 487:91-106 (1995).
+
+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.

+
+## Under Unix systems:
+
+- To compile the mod files use the command:
+
+  ```
+  nrnivmodl
+  ```
+
+- Run the simulation hoc file with the command:
+
+  ```
+  nrngui kinetics_na.hoc
+  ```
+
+  or
+
+  ```
+  nrngui kinetics_k.hoc
+  ```
+
+---
+
+## Under Windows using NEURON 5.1:
+
+- To compile the mod files use the "mknrndll" command.
+- Double-click on the simulation files `kinetics_na.hoc` or `kinetics_k.hoc` will open the simulation windows.
+

+
+Questions on the model parameters should be directed to the authors.
+
+Questions on how to use this model with NEURON should be directed to [email protected]
