Describes the ModelView tool, which we added to NEURON so that users could quickly and easily discover the biological properties that are represented in a model. In addition to analyzing NEURON models and presenting a graphical and textual summary of model properties, ModelView can also output an XML description that specifies the morphologal and biophysical attributes of a model.

| Abstract | One of the more important recent additions to the NEURON simulation environment is a tool called ModelView, which simplifies the task of understanding exactly what biological attributes are represented in a computational model. Here, we illustrate how ModelView contributes to the understanding of models and discuss its utility as a neuroinformatics tool for analyzing models in online databases and as a means for facilitating interoperability among simulators in computational neuroscience. |
