NEURON + Python
When Python is the interpreter, what is a good
design for the interface to the basic NEURON
concepts.
Moderator: hines

Reaction-diffusion in NEURON
Extending NEURON to handle reaction-diffusion problems.
Moderators: hines, wwlytton, ramcdougal

NEURON hacks
Particularly useful chunks of hoc and/or NMODL code. May be pedestrian or stunningly brilliant, may make you gasp or bring tears to your eyes, but always makes you think "I wish I had written that; I'm sure going to steal it."

Hot tips
A collection of noteworthy items selected by our moderators from discussions about making and using models with NEURON.
Moderators: ted, wwlytton, tom_morse

Getting started
The basics of how to develop, test, and use models.

The GUI
Using the graphical user interface to build and exercise models. Includes customizing the GUI by writing a little bit of hoc or Python

Anatomically detailed models
Managing anatomically complex model cells with the CellBuilder. Importing morphometric data with NEURON's Import3D tool or Robert Cannon's CVAPP. Where to find detailed morphometric data.

Adding new mechanisms and functions to NEURON
NMODL and the Channel Builder.

Modeling networks
Moderator: wwlytton

Optimization
Using the Multiple Run Fitter, praxis, etc..

Parallel NEURON
General issues of interest both for network and
individual cell parallelization.
Moderator: hines
