NetReadyCellGUIs created by the same CellBuilder

Post by GTR »

I want to make a network of 4 neurons of the same type (subthalamic) -using the GUI not hoc code- Network Cell->from Cell Builder with 4 (NetReadyCellGUIs-SynTypeGUIs) based on the same cell builder[0] while the only difference between these cells the places where the synapses are attached.
So my problem is while I connect the cells and turn the Create button ON,
I want to plot the voltage of STN1_Cell[0].soma.v(0.5), STN2_Cell[0].soma.v(0.5) etc. so I use Plot what? in the voltage graph but by scrolling down to objects as you indicate in the Network tutorial I can't find the object STN_Cell.Where is my mistake?
Does this have to do with the fact that all NetReadyCellGUIs share the same Cellbuilder?
To be honest,I tried to make 4 NetReadyCellGUIs each one with its cell builder and I found the cells I want to plot in the Objects list but I can't always start from scratch building a cell!
Is it something I haven't understood with network Builder?

So more generally -using GUI and not hoc code -when I want to make a network that contains templates of the same neuron and the difference lies only on the types and the points of synapses' attachments what I should do?

It is easiest to create a single cell class with all four synapses. In other words, use one
NetReadyCellGUI tool, and put all 4 synaptic mechanisms onto the model cell.
In the NetWork Builder, spawn four instances of that cell class, and just be careful about
where you attach Src to Tar.

Is STN_Cell the correct name? Click on the Network Builder's "Show Cell Map" button*.
This brings up a panel with two columns--the left column lists the names as they are
shown in the Network Builder, and the right column lists the corresponding names in hoc.

No.

*--In recent alpha versions of NEURON, the button is called Net Variables. Click on it
and select the Show Map item.
