Dear all,

I was wondering if there is a turn around in NEURON, i.e, a complementary software or an extension of NEURON itself, that enables the embedding of a neuron in a physical space, allowing the studying of mechanosensitive channels?

Thank you all in advance!

Nevermind, I just found out how to do that: Thank you!

You were right, it seems that was the case! Thank you very much. But still I wanted to keep analyzing the electrotonic structure of the cell, and I wanted to compare the active and passive electrotonic structure of it. Do you know how can I compute the passive electrotonic structure of the cell with...

Even if this is the case (I am checking it now), how can one interpret the negative values?

From 0 to ~20 Hz. Afterwards the results become positive.

When I do not use the "include dstate/dt contribution" the plot only has positive values, either for Vin or Vout. When I use the "include dstate/dt contribution" the plot shows negative values for both Vin and Vout.

Thank you for the prompt reply!

I am computing it as: What I want to compute is the electrotonic distance (L) described here: http://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/stati ... l#citation.

Thank you!

Dear all, I have a quick question that I could not answer myself: when I compute the electrotonic distance of some cells sometimes a number of dendritic branches of these cells show negative values (these cells have active conductances). Does this mean that there was no attenuation, and instead (pro...

Dear all, after updating to NEURON version 7.3-1, I am no longer able to compute the impedance class while taking into account the impedance contributions of gating state differential equations. Every time I try to do so, a "segmentation violation" warning appears, and this happens when I ...

Dear Ted, once more thank you for the prompt reply! For the coincidence detector case: I understood that 25 Hz was a standard rule of thumb validated by some experiments done, but if I increase the synaptic input frequency that will affect the electrotonic structure of the cell, and in this case sho...

Dear all, I want to analyse the spike train outputs from some single neuron models that I am simulating, the spike trains are recorded as the voltage traces at the axo-somatic compartment of these models. When I pick the vector generated by these simulations, what one obtains is the time course of t...

Dear Ted, I want to analyze the electrotonic properties of a neuron and because of that I found myself reading this post, so I think my question will fit this thread. As you said the best electrotonic measure to be used depends jointly on the properties of the cell and of the synaptic inputs, howeve...

I used an installer, particularly the Debian/Ubuntu for 64 bit (amd86/x86_64) (version 7.3).

Thank you so much for your prompt response!!

But just to be sure, How/Where should I add the extra line of code?

Thank you!

Dear Ted, I followed your advice and I further analyzed the mod files from Mainen ZF, Sejnowski TJ (1996), I found out two "problems": 1) the cad.mod was modified to allow variable time step, but then afterwards the cnexp was replaced with derivimplicit. But i read in http://www.neuron.yal...
