b) To compare strings use strcmp SYNTAX x = strcmp("string1", "string2") DESCRIPTION return negative, 0, or positive value depending on how the strings compare lexicographically. 0 means they are identical. Example if ((strcmp(secname(),"dend10[9]"))==0){ stimuli = new ...

The command I use is:
vec.play(&soma.v(0.5), tvec)

This produces a somatic membrane potential equivalent to the one stored in tvec.

Thanks for the answer - good to hear there is no mysteries :-) However, I'm not sure I got it, at least not from an electric circuit perspective: I only have passive channels in soma, which produce two branches in my soma compartment, one with a capacitive and one with a resistive current. In additi...

I am using NEURON's play command to insert boundary conditions to the soma potential in a realistic neuron model. However, I was not able to find out how the play command works - does it introduce a new "membrane current" to achieve the right potential? When I insert an extracellular layer...
