Re: Using Multisplit on NSG

Thank you for your reply Dr. Carnevale. I tried doing as you suggested, but I only seem to be receiving a slightly more detailed version of the previous error: stderr.txt: Use of uninitialized value in multiplication (*) at /opt/sdsc/bin/ibrun line 99. Use of uninitialized value in multiplication (*...

Using Multisplit on NSG

Hello, I am new to parallel processing in NEURON but it has become necessary to implement due to the increasing complexity of my model and the size of parameter searches that I am running. I am running repeated simulations of a morphologically detailed multi-compartment model with 1903 Exp2Syn synap...

Re: Inacurrate Number of Spikes While Using Random Netstim

In my scenario, the input spike train ISI statistics to the cell type that I am modelling are not characterized and so, it is not clear whether modelling them using random sampling from a negexp distribution is appropriate in the first place (since there are other potential ISI distributions - see r...

Re: Inacurrate Number of Spikes While Using Random Netstim

Thank you for your reply Dr. Carnevale. You mean you got fewer spikes than you expected. Why would you expect to get even 1 spike in every run? Given a negexp distribution with mean ISI > 0, for any finite simulation duration there is a nonzero probability that no spikes at all will be observed duri...

Inacurrate Number of Spikes While Using Random Netstim

Hello, I am trying to run a parameter search by varying the number of excitatory and inhibitory synapses on a multi-compartment model as well as their corresponding presynaptic firing rates. It is also important that these presynaptic spikes occur at random times. For the presynaptic spike parameter...

Re: Trying to Make/Debug an Input Current Mod File

Hello again, So I was recently directed to the following Github repository: https://github.com/pozzorin/GIFFittingToolbox/tree/HBP_Simplification/src/HBP/NEURON ... which is in the Human Brain Project (HBP) branch of the GIF fitting python repository. Inside is the "gif.mod" file which, it...

Trying to Make/Debug an Input Current Mod File

Hello, I've been attempting to develop a mod file to re-create an input current similar to what was used in Pozzorini et al (2015). Unfortunately, I'm finding that this task is a bit outside of my wheelhouse as I have not yet needed to make mod files. As it stands, I'm not sure if I have mistakes in...

Using save_session on Neuroscience Gateway (NSG)

I am currently running simulations on NSG where I have input session files containing my multi-compartment model and several MultipleRunFitter windows. In the simulations the code iteratively optimizes the synaptic parameters of a single synapse for each compartment. The optimized parameters are sav...

Questions about geometry & area(x)

I'm having some trouble understanding how area(x) is calculated in the morphology of my model. My basic understanding is that when a morphology is imported into NEURON, it is specified using the pt3dadd function, which specifies the segments as truncated cones/frusta. Furthermore, despite having man...
