Re: Another Synchrony Measure

the first thing to do is to get the binning done using either obj = vdest.hist(vsrc, low, size, width) OR newvect = vsrc.histogram(low, high, width) in order to do this you will need to pick up t vectors on a per-cell basis (as you said) you can do this by using indvwhere() vdest.indvwhere(vsource,&...

Re: Measurements of Synchrony?

Paul Tiesinga has a large number of sync measures and other ways of interpreting population spike patterns eg mean ISI for neuron n is tauN, CV is (stdev of tauNi)/<tauN> associate a particular interval statistic with the midpoint of the ISI The interspike interval of the combined set of network spi...

Introduction and request for suggestions

We are planning to augment NEURON to implement biochemical reaction-diffusion (RD) as well as facilitated cytoplasmic transport in NEURON. This would involve complementing the present integration of the one-dimensional cable equation with a meshed integration of diffusing reactants in multiple 3D (c...

Re: viewing a network topologically

you can use Hinton plots -- vec.hinton() -- to make x,y animations where each square is a single cell or a single compartment you can also use shapeplot after distributing the cells appropriately in the following image http://it.neurosim.downstate.edu/~billl/03jul19CA3cells.gif I threw down some cel...

version banner fails to update after reinstall

(this problem may only apply if using separate source and build directories) after I updated with subversion, the version banner was not correct, still reflecting version from the prior installation 1. first check whether the version file is in fact old cat $SOURCE_DIR/src/nrnoc/nrnversion.h 2. if s...

compiling NEURON under IRIX (IRIX64 6.5 10060437 IP30)

I did not run into any problem compiling iv-17 (the gcc was already 3.3) but did run into minor problems with compiling NEURON 1. I was unable to compile from source presumably due to antique autoconf etc under IRIX Solution: downloaded the prepared alpha version (http://www.neuron.yale.edu/ftp/neur...

WARNING x,y,z overlap in ARTCELLs with VERBATIM blocks

When building a network it is natural to assign locations to an ARTIFICIAL CELLs using RANGE x,y,z be aware that this translates in the .c header to eg #define x _p[32] #define y _p[33] #define z _p[34] if you now use x, y or z in a VERBATIM block, there will be precompilation translation of those v...

new Izhikevich model

The Izhikevich model has been replaced with a new improved version for NEURON. The new .mod file uses the WATCH statement so as to avoid the need to have an external NetCon looking for threshold passage A gsyn parameter has been added to allow activation from NetCons This makes it easy to include th...

replacement

I have not been using the Izh. model and just posted it as a service. Paolo, please let us know what you want -- if you would like me to fix my implementation I would be happy to do so; if you would like to use Ron's implementation it sounds like he would be happy to provide it either way, I would s...

model fix

did one of you want to fix this model or would you like me to fix it? sounds like the easiest thing would be to specify a specific flag in the implementation so as not to interfere with netcons unfortunately I do not have matlab so cannot compare to Izhekevich current model; I believe that Mike and ...

random number generation

Has anyone tested the randomizers available in NEURON for adequacy? I would like to use a randomizer to select a number in a seeded series by an index. Does anyone know how to do that with any of those available or with some other randomizer? I tested them for speed and was surprised at the discrepe...

C++ in mod

You cannot include C++ in mod files. However there are C++ packages in Neuron: vectors and lists that have wrappers compiled and therefore can be used. eg extern void vector_resize(); extern int vector_instance_px(); One could use these examples to include an additional file in the initial build and...

We used Condor with Neuron 10 years ago but I don't remember anything much about the details of this.

It is possible to do a static compilation -- there is an --enable-static flag for configure
