Time is running out to register for the NEURON course we're
presenting August 1-5 at the San Diego Supercomputer Center.
Salient features:
1. lots of hands-on exercises using NEURON on UNIX and
Windows NT workstations
2. covers everything you need to know to get started
3. topics include:
--using real anatomical and biophysical data
--extending NEURON's library of biophysical mechanisms
with NMODL
--using NEURON's built-in tools for automated
data analysis and model optimization
--strategies for increasing model efficiency and accuracy
--accelerating simulations with the new variable order,
variable timestep integration method
--NEURON's powerful tools for electrotonic analysis
(as described in Carnevale et al. Comparative
electrotonic analysis of three classes of rat
hippocampal neurons. JNP 78:703-720, 1997)
An early version of this toolkit is described at
http://www.neuron.yale.edu/papers/ebench/ebench.html
--project management
--customizing the graphical user interface
--using NEURON to model networks of neurons
Learn all this and more from the experts!
