Connectionists: NEURON course at 2006 SFN meeting

[Ted Carnevale]

Short Course Announcement

USING THE NEURON SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT
Satellite Symposium, Society for Neuroscience Meeting
9 AM - 5 PM on Friday, Oct. 13, 2006
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
   parallelizing network models
   expanding NEURON's repertoire of biophysical mechanisms
   database resources for empirically-based modeling

Each registrant will a comprehensive set of notes.

Registration is limited to 40 individuals on a first-come, first serve
basis.  Registration deadline is Friday, September 29, 2006.
