thank you, I believe I got it!

thank you Ted. I will work on your instructions.
If you could also point me to an example that would be really helpful.

thanks again,
Alexandra

Hello developers I have the following novice problem. I want to call a given cell template from a hoc script and then access the exact same instantiation of that cell from a different python script. I fall upon a couple of syntax errors as I try to do that and was hoping for some guidance. my hoc ce...

thanks Ted!

Hello Developers I am having some difficulty finding an answer to the following question in the NEURON-Python documentation so far and was hoping for some guidance or pointing to the right direction. My question is: How can I load (and thus execute) a hoc file from a python script that is accompanie...

Hello developers I am trying to do the simple task, save a figure using one of the python templates found on the NEURON Documentation: initonerun.py. The script plots the Graph just fine using one of my own cell templates (example.hoc), but it doesn't save it correctly. The problem is in the last si...

thanks a lot, this worked.

Hello developers In the example below I want to stimulate and record from the soma of the cell template example.hoc using the try.py python script. If I run try.py I get the error: "stim = h.IClamp(0.5, sec=soma_py) TypeError: sec is not a Section" It doesn't seem that my script is accessing the som...

Thank you Ted I have done some further digging into the problem and I realize the the issue is with the instantiation of my cell model in python. I changed the title to reflect the issue more accurately. So I want to instantiate my cell model whose morphology is given in a cell template. I get the e...

Hello

What is the general meaning behind the error: "a template cannot be redefined"?
In my case I am trying to stimulate a neuron written in a hoc template using a python script.
Is it because stimulating my cell modifies the template and modifying a template is not allowed?

thank you,
Alexandra

Ok, understood now thank you.

Thank you Ted. I now understand that "newpyr = h.Pyr()" creates a new instance of "Pyr" and this explains the zero values I was getting in the first example I posted. However if we go back to my first example listed again below, how can I have python print h.NumApical? "print h.axoaxoniccell_temp.Nu...

Thank you Ted. As a matter of fact, the code I posted is a toy code I use to experiment/understand how Python reads variables, parameters and their values from NEURON. From your response I realize that the idea is that Python reads the type of variables and parameters defined in hoc but expects that...

Hello developers I want my python script to read from a NEURON hoc script and and I am facing difficulties having python read variables if they are defined within a template or a proc and not on top level. How can python read parameters right (and in general any variable in hoc) if defined within a ...

Hello

Is it true that fscan is confused with comment lines and is there a way to add comments in a text file that needs to be read by fscan?
