Building mechanistic multiscale models with NEURON, NetPyNE, and TREES
WHEN
WHERE
WHAT
Brain interactions occur across many temporal and spatial scales. Massive neuroscience-databasing projects throughout the world provide data at all these scales, data that can only be “compiled” and understood using simulation. Mechanistic multiscale modeling provides insights into how changes at molecular, synaptic, morphological and network + areal scales; produced by development, learning, brain disease, or drugs; affect dynamics and brain function.
NEURON Summer Course 2023
WHEN
WHERE
WHAT
The NEURON Summer Course provides a comprehensive introduction to the design and construction of models of individual neurons and networks of neurons. It includes:
2021 CNS NEURON + NetPyNE tutorial
WHEN
WHERE
WHAT
Understanding brain function requires characterizing the interactions occurring across many temporal and spatial scales. Mechanistic multiscale modeling aims to organize and explore these interactions. In this way, multiscale models provide insights into how changes at molecular and cellular levels, caused by development, learning, brain disease, drugs, or other factors, affect the dynamics of local networks and of brain areas. Large neuroscience data-gathering projects throughout the world (e.g.
2021 NEURON Webinar Series
WHEN
WHERE
WHAT
This course maps the first half of the NEURON Summer Course into a series of interactive online workshops about building and working with models of single neurons. It is designed for those who are planning to use NEURON in neuroscience research or teaching, or already have active projects that involve NEURON, and is suitable for users at all levels of expertise.

WHEN
WHERE
WHAT
This intensive multi-day course is suitable for users at all levels of expertise. It is designed for those who are planning to use NEURON in neuroscience research or teaching, or already have active modeling projects that involve NEURON. It presents what you need to know to build and work with models of individual neurons and networks of neurons, and includes an introduction to simulation on parallel hardware.
Using NEURON to model cells and networks
WHEN
WHERE
WHAT
This course emphasizes practical issues that are key to the most productive use of NEURON, an advanced simulation environment for realistic modeling of biological neurons and neural circuits. Through lectures and live computer demonstrations, we will address topics that include the following:
