neuroConstruct projects based on published neuronal and network models

Downloadable neuroConstruct projects based on published conductance based models. Some examples to illustrate the core functionality of neuroConstruct, as opposed to providing electrophysiologically accurate models can be found here

DentateGyrus

Project name: DentateGyrus

A recreation of the model Dentate Gyrus from: Santhakumar V, Aradi I, Soltesz I. Role of mossy fiber sprouting and mossy cell loss in hyperexcitability: a network model of the dentate gyrus incorporating cell types and axonal topography. J Neurophysiol. 2005. Based on model scripts obtained from: http://senselab.med.yale.edu/senselab/modeldb/ShowModel.asp?model=51781

GranCellLayer

Project name: GranCellLayer

An extension in 3D of the Granule Cell Layer model from: Maex, R and De Schutter, E. Synchronization of Golgi and Granule Cell Firing in a Detailed Network Model of the Cerebellar Granule Cell Layer J Neurophysiol, Nov 1998; 80: 2521 - 2537. The default Simulation Configuration replicates the 1D 75 granule cell example from: http://www.tnb.ua.ac.be/models/network.shtml

GranuleCell

Project name: GranuleCell

A project illustrating the behaviour of the Granule Cell model from: Maex, R and De Schutter, E. Synchronization of Golgi and Granule Cell Firing in a Detailed Network Model of the Cerebellar Granule Cell Layer J Neurophysiol, Nov 1998; 80: 2521 - 2537. Based on scripts obtained from: http://www.tnb.ua.ac.be/models/network.shtml. This project shows how a cell model with multiple active conductances can produce the same behaviour on NEURON and GENESIS through the specification of channel mechanisms in ChannelML.

 * Note: neuroConstruct project downloads (most of which are included with the standard software distribution) can be loaded directly into neuroConstruct to generate cell and network scripts for NEURON, GENESIS, etc., but NeuroML downloads just consist of the core elements of the project (morphologies, channels, etc.) which have been exported in NeuroML format. The latter can be useful for testing NeuroML compliant applications. If no NeuroML download link is present, this usually indicates that the model is mainly implemented using channel/synapse mechanisms in a simulator's native language (e.g. mod files) which have not fully been converted to ChannelML yet.
