Simulate using NEURON

NEURON is a simulator tool used in the computational neuroscience community to model and study the dynamics of multicomportamental neurons.

This simulator must be installed as a dependency when installing the bsb-neuron package. If you are installing NEURON separately, please refer to the official installation documentation for guidance.

The simulation block contains all the necessary components to run the simulation. In the configuration, you will need to specify a name and duration (in milliseconds). For example, the following creates a simulation named my_simulation_name with a duration of 1 second:

JSON

"simulations": {
    "my_simulation_name": {
      "simulator": "neuron",
      "duration": 1000,
}

PYTHON

config.simulations.add("my_simulation_name",
  simulator="neuron",
  duration=1000,
)
