GENESIS Tutorial Simulations

The GENESIS distribution includes a number of demonstration simulations in the form of "user-friendly" tutorials. Several of these have been adapted from recent research simulations, in order to let the user have convenient access to the simulations. As the full simulation scripts are provided, they may be modified and used to create one's own simulations. The Book of GENESIS uses these simulations to teach concepts in computational neuroscience, as well as the use of GENESIS.

These are some of the tutorial simulations provided with GENESIS

• Tutorial 1 - extensible neuronal cable.
• Tutorial 2 - voltage clamp experiments on a compartment containing Hodgkin-Huxley channels.
• Tutorial 3 - neuronal tutorial to explore temporal & spatial summation of synaptic inputs.
• Tutorial 4 - burst firing in molluscan neurons.
• Tutorial 5 - Traub multi-compartmental CA3 pyramidal cell model.
• Tutorial 6 - small networks of neurons studied with a simulation based on central pattern generator circuits.
• Tutorial 7 - a piriform cortex simulation.
