synapse and network biulder

[thats_karlo]

Hi,

to make a network , i wrote a code for excitatory and inhibitory synapses.(e.g my_inh_syn and my_exci_sys)
How can i use this synaptic mechanism in network builder?since to define network, in networkcell/ synapse type, we can choose one of
Expsyn or Exp2syn . is there any way to put my_inh_syn or my_exci_sys in a specific location?

Thanks,

karlo

Properly written synaptic mechanism specifications are automatically incorporated into hoc
and all GUI tools, just like any other mechanism. If NEURON is started in the directory
in the directory where the mechanisms were compiled, it will print a message in its interpreter
window that looks something like this:

Code: Select all

Additional mechanisms from files
 cabpump.mod cachan1.mod camchan.mod capump.mod invlfire.mod khhchan.mod mcna.mod nacaex.mod nachan.mod release.mod

If you don't see such a message, either the mechanisms have not yet been compiled, or
NEURON was started in the wrong directory.

A synaptic mechanism that contains a properly written NET_RECEIVE block will automatically
be available for use via hoc or the GUI in network models that use NetCons to connect
cells. In particular, such a mechanism will appear in the menu of mechanisms available
to the NetReadyCellGUI tool's SynTypeGUI tool (click on the "New" button and the name
of the synaptic mechanism will appear in the list along with ExpSyn and Exp2Syn).
