silencing netstim during simulation.

Hello Following other posts on the forum, I want to silence my netstim at a certain time (400ms) during my simulation. To do this I set netcon.active(0), or I've also tried to do netcon.weight=0 according to https://www.neuron.yale.edu/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=17875#p17875 . I have a very novice syntax...

Re: hoc file is not a template

thank you! I was originally under the impression that the hoc file relies on fewer mod files and not most of the box. I am getting a better sense of the model now. Regarding the same repository I downloaded the 39948 entry and tried to run the "izhi2004a.hoc" according to the README instru...

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...

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...

error in saving a voltage trace into a figure

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...

Re: TypeError: sec is not a Section"

thanks a lot, this worked.

Code: Select all

from neuron import h

h.load_file('example.hoc')
cell=h.example() #create an instance of this class
soma_py=cell.soma[0]
print(soma_py)
stim = h.IClamp(0.5, sec=soma_py)

Re: 'hoc.HocObject' object has no attribute 'instantiate'

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...

'hoc.HocObject' object has no attribute 'instantiate'

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, Al...

Re: How can python read from a hoc file templates and procs?

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? "prin...
