Two other places to check: both the Allen Institute and the European Human Brain Project have used NEURON extensively in their research. It seems likely that at least some of that work would have involved validation of the many models they have been building. And of course anyone who happens to read...

Welcome, new NEURON user! Make it easy for yourself. Start by eliminating complexity. 1. Forget about Jupyter until you can use the model cell from plain old python. If you can't do that, you'll never get it going in a Jupyter notebook. 2. If you import neuron then every time you want to use some fe...

modelers who have published a series of papers on one or more related models

Potential examples include the hippocampus models from I. Soltesz's lab, and the neocortical rhythmogenesis modeling by Stephanie Jones at Brown.

An interesting question, not least because it seems skew to NEURON's primary design goal: to serve as a tool for implementing and performing experiments on computational models of biological neurons and networks. Every computational model is only an expression, in computational form, of a conceptual...

Or maybe Biophysical Journal. A couple of PubMed searches turned up many interesting papers; you might find this one to be helpful: @Article{Montefusco2019, author = {Montefusco, Francesco and Pedersen, Morten G}, title = {From local to global modeling for characterizing calcium dynamics and their e...

Can't say that I've seen anybody else do this, but it should work. Would start small--first just a cluster of P/Q channels with local ion accumulation that equilibrates with bulk cytoplasm, then add a cluster of BK channels with its own local volume that equilibrates with bulk cytoplasm, then couple...

I was wondering if it's possible to record voltage across an element in the Linear Circuit Builder. You can only record voltages relative to ground. If neither terminal of a two terminal device is grounded, you have to capture the time course of potential at each end into a pair of vectors, then af...

This could be done in NMODL as a point process. Such an implementation might represent interactions within a "complex of elements" that consists of a cluster of P/Q channels, a nearby SER cistern, and a nearby cluster of BK channels. Done properly, this would allow any segment to have as many such c...

Good question. Before dealing with it-- Instead of from neuron import h import neuron do this: from neuron import h h.load_file("stdgui.hoc") import h gives Python access to everything built into the NEURON executable (the program that is launched by executing nrniv at the command line). Probably th...

When I insert the ion channels with pointer they will occupy a whole compartment although I would only want a segment to be modulated. A segment is a compartment. Perhaps you meant to say "When I insert the ion channels with pointer they will occupy a whole section" but that doesn't explain everyth...

Look in the Hot tips area of the Forum for Simulations that generate lots of data

Aha, I violated the principle of RTFM. Sure enough, searching the Programmers' Reference for fsyn turns up a section on "Obsolete Stimuli" that mentions the (obsolete) function prstim() which is described as "obsolete. Print the info about fstim, fclamp, and fsyn". My own dusty paper archives includ...

Sounds like you have take on a challenging task. I'm fresh out of ideas for how to accomplish it.

Never heard of fsyn(). Doubtless some user-written function. Is it defined in any of the files that are part of that model entry where you found it?
