Hi Mike,

I do need to use the extracellular method. Thanks for clarifying.

Nikki

Hi again, In looking more carefully at the multisplit documentation, it says that it cannot be used with the extracellular mechanism. Is that correct? In which case there's no way to split a single cell across multiple processors if using extracellular? https://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/static/new_...

Thanks Ted. I'm already doing #1, so looking to add on #2. I'll work from Hines 2008 & associated ModelDB entry.

Thanks,

Nikki

Thanks for the quick reply!! Good question. I have not tried multithreaded, although I don't grasp the pros/cons/implications of multithreading vs using multisplit. To provide some more context about my task: We currently use a bash script to post a large number of independent NEURON jobs on a compu...

Hi Ted and Mike, I was wondering if it's possible to parallelize an unbranched single cell (with many compartments). If yes, I assume it involves using multisplit: https://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/static/new_doc/modelspec/programmatic/network/parcon.html#ParallelContext.multisplit. Is there a simp...

I just realized that I installed a v7.4 as per my earlier post, but using that alpha link you sent: nrn-7.4.rel-1390.x86_64-w64-mingw32-setup.exe I didn't use the nrn-7.5 installer because it seemed to include python (as alluded to in your last post), which I don't use. But I didn't realize that the...

Follow-up: I'm still getting the error sometimes. Not clear what causes it to happen or not. I can repeatedly double-click my HOC (associated with neuron.exe from v7.5), and sometimes I get the bash error window, other times the code will run.

Thanks,

Nikki

Thanks Mike! V7.5 seems to have resolved the issue. I'm using:

nrn-7.4.rel-1390.x86_64-w64-mingw32-setup.exe

I don't think it's the registry issue you mentioned since this computer is new from a few months ago.

Thanks!

Hi Ted and Mike, I am also getting an error running NEURON v7.4 (64 bit) on Windows 10 (64 bit). When double-clicking a HOC file (with the blue AP icon, i.e. associated with neuron.exe), I get the following error: bash.exe - Application Error The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142...

Interesting... If you replace batch_run() with batch_gun(), it works fine. So some conflict with the built-in run() function?

Hi Ted, I use underscores in almost all of my variable/procedure/function names. But I've just recently that sometimes these underscores make NEURON crash. For instance: proc batchrun() { print "testing 1" } batchrun() proc batch_run() { print "testing 2" } batch_run() The first ...

First realize that NEURON uses the central difference approximation for the second derivative of v with respect to distance along a cable. Then realize that this means each compartment is properly represented by an equivalent T circuit where each compartment's axial resistance is divided into two p...

Thanks for the quick reply! So I'm trying to understand the two issues from a circuits perspective. http://i.imgur.com/9hqSJy9.png My model is a single compartment (i.e. space-clamped). That being said, I realize that NEURON computes voltages at 0 and 1, even though there are only membrane propertie...

Hello,

I'm using an SEclamp to obtain Vm and Im data. However, if the clamp's rs is too big or if my cell is too big, I'm getting an action potential at sufficiently depolarized clamp values. How/why is the clamp allowing the cell to fire an action potential?

Thanks!

Nikki

Oops! No, I never ended up using cvode.record(). Thanks for catching that.
