Location: Brown University, Providence, RI
Dates: Sunday, June 16, through Friday, June 21, 2024
Faculty: Ted Carnevale, Robert McDougal, and guest speakers TBA
Application deadline: Monday, June 3, 2024


This intensive multi-day course is designed for those who are planning to use NEURON in neuroscience research or teaching, or already have active projects that involve NEURON. It is suitable for users at all levels of expertise, presenting 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.
  • Beginners with little or no modeling experience will learn not only the technical aspects of modeling but also its philosophical basis and scientific rationale.
  • Intermediate users will learn the best approaches to common tasks, and how to use special features of NEURON in their own work.
  • Experienced users will benefit from an update on new features and a review of important topics that may have escaped their attention when they first started using NEURON.
Each day of this course will run from 9 AM to 5 PM, with lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, and will end with a wrapup session. Afternoons will include free time for participants to work on exercises or projects of their own choosing, with expert help near at hand. There will also be two or three optional evening sessions to address topics of special interest which may arise during the daytime sessions.

Space is limited, and applications will be considered in the order received. The application deadline is Monday, June 3, 2024 at 5 PM New York time. No applications will be accepted after that date, and there will be no on-site registration.
