Connectionists: NEURON course at SFN 2005 Meeting

[Ted Carnevale]

Short Course Announcement

USING THE NEURON SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT
Satellite Symposium, Society for Neuroscience Meeting
9 AM - 5 PM on Friday, Nov. 11, 2005
Speakers to include M.L. Hines and N.T. Carnevale

NEURON is a powerful and convenient simulator that handles
realistic models of biophysical mechanisms, individual
neurons, and networks of cells, and runs under MSWindows,
OS X, and UNIX/Linux.  This one day course will present
information essential for research and teaching applications
of NEURON.  The emphasis is on practical issues that are key
to its most productive use.

Topics that will be covered include:
   constructing and managing models of cells and networks
   importing detailed morphometric data
   expanding NEURON's repertoire of biophysical mechanisms
   database resources for empirically-based modeling

New tools that will be presented include the Channel Builder,
Model Viewer, and the Import3D tool.

Each registrant will a comprehensive set of notes,
plus selected reprints from The NEURON Book.

Registration is limited to 40 individuals on a first-come,
first serve basis.
