Using p = neuron.new_point_process('ExpSyn') I can get the name of p by access name attribute. But since neuron.new_point_process is becoming obsolete, from the correspondent usage a = h.ExpSyn(0.5, sec = dend)) nc = h.NetCon(stim, a) I cannot get the name (or type) of a (as an ExpSyn): >> a.__str__...

Is it possible to have the weight of a NetCon pointing to a "reference of a variable"? No. That way the weight of the NetCon can vary during a simulation (to account for use-dependent plasticity for example). This can already be done with code in the synaptic mechanism's NET_RECEIVE block...

Yes, you fixed it. Thanks a lot for this quick fix!

I tried using an objdir in the same directory level with the srcdir, but get the same error. I was doing the build in an objdir different from srcdir, configured with ../configure --prefix=/path/to/nrnhg/nrnmpi --with-iv=/path/to/nrnhg/iv --srcdir=.. --with-nrnpython --with-paranrn in a subdirectory...

A while ago NEURON was able to be compiled with python and openmpi, but not in the newest mercurial repository, nrniv compiles fine though: $ python setup.py build ... creating build/temp.linux-i686-2.5 mpicc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I../../../src...

Thanks for the tips, Dr. Hines. I tried a bit with gdb with "run /path/to/nrngui.hoc test.hoc -" and got the following traceback that points me to hoc_object_asgn () from /usr/lib/libnrnoc.so.0. Maybe I need to recompile NEURON with debug symbols. At the same time I find "run test.hoc...

Localization is the first task. Usually this means answering the question "where in my code does the problem lie?" but occasionally the bug is in NEURON itself. The most recent revision of 6.2 is dated August 28; you might try updating to that, if you are reasonably sure of the correctnes...

We will update our certificate soon to be un-expired but still not (externally) certified. You can get around the extra certificate dialog boxes when visiting the forum by accepting the certificate **permanently** rather than choosing to **temporarily** accept the certificate. Once you have selecte...

I agree that in this case the event should not be placed onto the queue. I committed the change to the subversion repository. http://www.neuron.yale.edu/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/changeset/2087 Thank you! BTW, everytime when I use firefox to browse this forum, the browser reminds me that some SSL certificat...

Hi, I am using NetCon.event in a FinitializeHandler to schedule events time for this NetCon object, and was hoping by setting NetCon.active(0), I can run a simulation with this NetCon silent. fih = FInitializeHandler("e.event(10)") e.active(0) run() However, .event() doesn't seem to respec...

in neuron/__init__.py, if import hoc is changed to from neuron import hoc Then the problem goes away. after make install I switched to the src/nrnpython dir and typed python setup.py install in super user mode: ...

point 2 first. The freq arg is call by value in both cases. You'll have to send me an example where passing a reference did not give an immediate error. I only have examples that gives immediate errors. Now point 1. I direct your attention to the longer discussion for the Impedance class itself: ht...

Here, membrane mechanisms refers to both density mechanisms and point processes. If there is any context in the documentation where it is restricted to density mechanisms, let me know so I can disambiguate it. There may be some places where I include artificial cells as well and that would be a mis...

Since version 5.3, when the second argument is 1, an extended impedance calculation is performed which takes into account the effect of differential gating states. ie. the linearized cy' = f(y) system is used where y is all the membrane potentials plus all the states in KINETIC and DERIVATIVE block...
