Abstract

neuroConstruct is a Java based application which facilitates development of 3D networks of neurons for both GENESIS and NEURON. Spatial positioning and connectivity of the neurons in the network can be specified. Existing cell morphologies in GENESIS, NEURON and SWC format can be imported, edited and simulations can be run in either simulator. Support for editing of channel mechanisms and placement of these on cells is included. Simulation data can be stored and later visualized in neuroConstruct. This tutorial will demonstrate the main features of the application.
