When using NetPyNE, how do you change the reversal potential of k, na, and ca ions?

For example, we are trying to change ek in NetPyNE tutorial 2 (http://netpyne.org/tutorial.html#networ ... tutorial-2).

We’ve tried the following:

Code: Select all

cellRule['secs']['soma']['mechs']['hh'] = {'gnabar': 0.12, 'gkbar': 0.036, 'gl': 0.003, 'el': -70, 'ek': -95}

This gives the error 'nrn.Mechanism' object has no attribute 'ek'

We also tried

Code: Select all

cellRule['secs']['soma']['mechs']['k_ion']={'ek': -95}

And this gave the same error.

We have also attempted:

Code: Select all

cellRule['secs']['soma']['mechs']['ion']['k']={'ek': -95}

and this produced an error.

Code: Select all

cellRule['secs']['soma']={'ek': -95}

creates a new dictionary, but h.psection() reveals it does not actually change ek.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Sorry for the delay responding. To change the reversal potential of ions, you can use eg.

Code: Select all

cellRule['secs']['soma']['ions']['na'] = {'e': 60}

similarly for the internal and external concentrations of the ion you can use:

Code: Select all

cellRule['secs']['soma']['ions']['na'] = {'i': 15, 'o': 150 }

Apologies, this is one of the things that we still need to update in the documentation. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

That worked. Thank you for your response.
