adrunge not thread safe

I didn't specify runge-kutta or anything else for DERIVATIVE block and get this warning: "adrunge not thread safe" Error goes away if I explicitly choose SOLVE states METHOD derivimplicit or cnexp Seems funny that the default METHOD is one that is not threadable? -- I had generally tried t...

Choice of Python2.7 or 3.xx on install?

I'm guessing that Anaconda gives you both 2 and 3 and that when NEURON detects that you have 3 installed it assumes that you want to use the more modern version?? I have no personal experience on this; A student reports: having trouble getting my Python 2.7 Anaconda env working ... py2.7 problem tur...

Re: Suppress "First Instance Of"

I'm just now re-stumbling over these messages which I haven't seen in a long time. Not sure if that reflects a change in the code or more likely just a change in the way I'm running. Anyway it would still be desirable to have a non-compile toggle for this (perhaps there is one but I didn't find).

Programming and Debugging a declarative language

I am having trouble getting used to NetPyNE and realize that part of this is my unfamiliarity with proper programming practices in a declarative language such as this. "Declarative programming is where you say what you want without having to say how to do it" When working in an imperative ...

spine resistance debates

There is great variability in spine resistance estimates in different studies and models. Eg Carnevale in 2013 said "Notably, our experimental data was closely modeled using a neck resistance of 520 M , similar to the value reported for hippocampal pyramidal neurons (26). " ("Compartm...

Re: generate dictionary of hoc (h.) things

in python 2.7+ can also do dict comprehensions so

hdict = {name:h.__getattribute__(name) for name in dir(h) if hasattr(h,name)}

generate dictionary of hoc (h.) things

I wanted a dictionary of hoc stuff for reasons that in retrospect was unnecessary, but having done this I thought I would share it hdict = dict([(name,h.__getattribute__(name)) for name in dir(h) if hasattr(h,name)]) the hasattr() turned out to be the trick since for reasons obscure some things turn...

Re: Setting stims and time after SaveState.restore()

if i understand correctly, there's a single thread here and, as in the case of multiple threads, the individual thread values have to be explicitly set to correspond to the time given by the interpreters h.t It appears that in order to see these threads that one needs to set up an explicit ParallelC...

Setting stims and time after SaveState.restore()

After a SaveState.restore() , modifications are difficult and seem to depend on doing things at the correct time in the finitialize() sequence. I don't yet fully understand the reasons at each step but will post further as I better understand it. Here is the fairly simple sim I was working with: mss...
