Hello,

I would like to place a dot on a shape plot to denote the location of a synapse. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance!!

I have another question with regard to this post. I am making shape plots of the max PSP deflection at each point of a neuron caused by an inhibitory synapse. To calculate the deflection I use a mechanism: minv.mod NEURON { SUFFIX minv RANGE v0, vipsp } ASSIGNED { v (millivolt) v0 (millivolt) vipsp ...

I knew there would be a fabulous way to do it!

Is there an equally fabulous way to make a list of all the distal most sections of an arbor? I couldn't quite figure it out using the recommended statements.

Thanks!

Hello, I was wondering if there was an elegant way to find all of the upstream and downstream sections and segments from a node. For example, say I wanted to find the average voltage of all sections upstream from an current injection point. To do this I would need to know the voltage at all the node...

Thanks Ted, I worked your commands into the onepoint procedure. I wanted to do a sanity check to make sure everything was working. Checking the soma.vipsp_minv(0) was easy. I just used print statements and plotted the voltage trace at the soma while the program was iterating though the onepoint() pr...

Hi Ted, Thanks, I thought of using the max mechanism (I am using a min version) you posted before; however, I was uncertain where to place it in the file when marching the synapse around. Because the mechanism calculates the psp at each point (segment) in the neuron as the result of a synapse, I thi...

Hola, I am trying to figure out how to code the GClamp in .hoc code. Via the gui, after inserting a GClamp from the Point Process Menu (which I assume I would do the following in .hoc: objref syn soma syn = new GClamp(0) //make soma(0) the "reference point" syn.e = -80 //mV only variable t...

Hi Ted, I am trying to alter the code you posted on this thread on August 31, 2011. For a synapse placed at every segment of the neuron, your code plots the distance of the synapse from the soma vs the resulting psp at the soma normalized by the maximal psp at the soma. Instead of normalizing by the...

Thank you Ted and Michael! I figured out the scale of the conductance I was injecting was way to large; therefore, my small oscillation around zero (which although I agree doesn't make sense to have a negative conductance, but nonetheless...) was causing my simulation to blow up in my case. Go a hea...

Hi Ted, I have been trying to get this thing to work but I don't understand it. Below are some question to your comments. 1. I changed the ELECTRODE_CURRENT i to a NONSPECIFIC_CURRENT i. Although it took care of the instability near the beginning of the voltage trace it still blows up toward the end...

Thanks Ted! Happy New Year!

I have sent it via email. Thanks so much for your help on this!

I am trying to model a synapse by changing the membrane conductance (as opposed to injecting a current) according to a wave form I specify. In order to do this I am using a dynamic clamp code provided at http://www.neuron.yale.edu/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1670&p=5920&hilit=gartland#p59...

Thank you so much. I am sending it your way now.

Also when I choose the option that connects the non connected section to the soma; then I export the cell to the cellbuilder; then I export the cell to a .hoc file via the cell builder. When I try to open the .hoc file later (after I close NEURON and open it again) I get the following error: oc>/App...
