Re: Running secondary networks in isolation

Thanks for the quick patch. I'm having some trouble iterating through all the sections in a cell and setting sec.simulate(0) for each of them. This code works fine: import neuron import numpy as np soma = neuron.h.Section() dend = neuron.h.Section() dend.connect(soma(1)) v_rec = neuron.h.Vector() v_...

Re: Running secondary networks in isolation

Fantastic, thanks so much for taking a look at this! The python idiom you sketched would be perfect for my purposes. Keep me posted on updates, and I'll do the same for the Nengo implementation if/when the NoSimulate feature becomes active.

Re: Running secondary networks in isolation

Haha, well you’re probably unaware of the nengo-NEURON interface because the only one working on this project is...me :) Let me actually introduce myself - I’m Peter Duggins (psipeter@gmail.com), a 2nd year PhD student in Chris Eliasmith’s lab. As part of my masters thesis (also with Chris), I devel...

Re: Running secondary networks in isolation

You’re correct that the solution I’m proposing is to save the relevant optimized info (connection weights) for later use in the simulation proper. The problem with this solution isn’t that this information is too large, or that creation/destruction of portions of the network is too expensive. It’s t...

Re: Running secondary networks in isolation

Thanks for the rapid response. I had previously considered the build/teardown approach, and in fact I use it for a preliminary optimization elsewhere in my code. However, the ordering of the Nengo build process makes this quite problematic in the current context. In Nengo, each ensemble is populated...

Running secondary networks in isolation

I am running NEURON with Python within the context of another neural simulator, Nengo. The ordering of the build process in Nengo requires that I create all the NEURON objects (cells from hoc template, NetCons, etc.) at an early stage. Later in the build process, I temporarily create isolated popula...

Re: Recording the total input current to the soma

Hi Ted, I have a few follow-up questions. Briefly, I’m trying to do the same thing Aaron was doing - i.e. probe the current flowing into the somatic compartment (nseg=1) from the dendritic tree, which in our NEURON model is a single dendritic compartment (nseg=5). I’m interested in comparing the beh...
