For MSWin users:
As far as the implementation in the GUI is concerned.
I hope you don't mean making IA channel via ChannelBuilder I am not sure if this can be done because of the complexities in the procedure block as I can see from IA in the model you mention from modelDB.
However If you want to incorporate this channel in the soma of your own model:
you can save the IA NMODL code in an editor (notepad,wordpad etc.)
within the same folder that you have the file that contains the soma desription.
Compile this using mknrn.dll so as to automatically generate the .o file
and then go to:
Start / Programs / Neuron / mknrndll
This brings up a directory browser that can be used to navigate to the directory that contains the IA.mod file. When you get to the proper directory, click on the button labelled "Make nrnmech.dll".
and now if you double click on yor hoc file that contains the soma,
you will see in the interpreter that opens:
loading membrane mechanisms from nrnmech.dll
Additional mechanisms from files and your IA mechanism is loaded.
As for the GUI you can see now IA (if you name it so) in the CellBuilder/Biophysics section on the left side,so you can tick into it to activate it for your soma.
Now I think you can import it via your hoc code:
Code: Select all
soma {
...............
insert IA
}
But to be tottally sure wait for Ted's Reply!
