parallel simulation hang on permanently at some loops

The job is pretty simple. I run many loops and just parallelize them by ParallelContext. The program runs well on my Macbook Pro by NEURON 7.5, cluster by coreNEURON, and on Comet by NEURON 7.5. I recently installed NEURON 7.7 on Manjaro linux system and run the same simulation. However, something c...

multiple pulse current clamp point process

According to the documentation, IClamp is a single pulse current clamp point process. I need IClamp to generate several pulses (variable intervals). Is this doable without generating multiple point processes and setting each process corresponding delay time? I tried to use Netstim and then use NetCo...

Re: modulus in the mod file

syntax error:
Illegal expression:
Illegal statement:
Illegal block at line 114 in file Isinunoisy.mod
if ((t%1000)>500) {
^
make: *** [Isinunoisy.c] Error 1

The above is the error information. However, I can use % in the terminal.

modulus in the mod file

Hi,
I am trying to use the built-in expression % to compute the modulus in mod file. However, there are errors for the compilation of the mod files. I have tried this expression in GUI. It works perfectly. Can anybody tell me why? Thanks.

Re: Suggestion for dynamic synaptic inputs

once the cell receives stimulus, the presynaptic input firing rate (signal) is like a sinusoidal wave FR = sin((t-stimulus_onset)/10), when t<stimulus_onset or t>stimulus_onset+10*pi. sin((t-stimulus_onset)/10) is negative half of the time. Would you like to revise the expression for firing rate? Y...

Re: Suggestion for dynamic synaptic inputs

To go any further, you will have to provide a mathematical description of the effect of a stimulus on presynaptic firing rate. It would be best if your description is based on experimental evidence. Yes, I am trying to simulate the cell spiking in vivo. It includes two stages, the resting state and...

Thanks Ted. The second one would be the question.

Suggestion for dynamic synaptic inputs

I have built a cell model and now I want to do the in vivo simulations. When the animal is at resting condition, there are only spontaneous/background synaptic inputs. To make it simple, I assume there are 1000 synaptic contacts uniformly formed on the dendrite from another type of cells. At resting...

Re: calculating impedance at different frequencies

Impedance is calculated in the frequency domain from the Laplace transformation of the spatially discretized cable equation. As mentioned here https://www.neuron.yale.edu/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3515&p=14922 the second argument to the Impedance class's compute() method specifies whether v...

calculating impedance at different frequencies

I am wondering how Neuron compute the impedance at different frequencies. I mean if I write the hoc code myself, Obviously I need to exert an input signal and then record the change of the membrane potential. For 0 HZ input impedance, it is easy to understand. What is the input signal for NEURON to ...

Re: How to solve the calcium summation problem?

I am glad to provide whatever advice I can that would help you and your advisor achieve your goals. Much of it I have already provided. However my primary obligations will consume nearly all of my effort for the next three weeks, and even after that I will not have the time to take on a new modelin...

Re: How to solve the calcium summation problem?

The more detail that is included in a model, the more difficulty there is in selecting model parameters and getting desired results. That's why so many computational neuroscience models don't bother with ion accumulation--it is just assumed that concentrations are constant. Many modelers have used ...

How to solve the calcium summation problem?

When using the detailed calcium handling mechanism including the buffering and diffusion, I met a problem to simulate the repetitive firing of the soma in Purkinje cell. Let's take the example of cdp model in the NEURON BOOK, there will be a long tail part for the decay of the calcium transient. For...
