Publications that have used NEURON

Please help us keep this list complete and accurate by addressing questions, corrections, additions, or comments to ted.carnevale@yale.edu
Almost every one of these papers cites a "primary" article about NEURON. For the very few that did not, we have been informed by the author(s) that NEURON was actually used in the work even though it was not cited.
If you know of a paper that should be in this list, tell us and we'll be glad to add it. And if you are looking for papers that pertain to NEURON itself, some "primary" citations have been appended to the end of this list.
