Connectionists: neuroConstruct - Paper and software available for download

[Angus Silver]

We are pleased to announce the publication and release of neuroConstruct, a
software tool for creating, visualizing and analyzing networks of
multicompartmental neurons in 3D space. neuroConstruct facilitates the
generation of neural network models with a high degree of biological realism
and automatically generates script files for NEURON or GENESIS, which carry
out the simulation.

The latest version of neuroConstruct is freely available for download at: 
http://www.neuroConstruct.org

This application is described in an open access Neurotechniques paper: 
Gleeson,P., Steuber, V. and Silver R.A., neuroConstruct: A Tool for Modeling
Networks of Neurons in 3D Space. Neuron 54, 219-235

Available from here http://www.neuron.org/content/issue?volume=54&issue=2

The latest version of the NeuroML standards (http://www.neuroml.org) are
supported in neuroConstruct, facilitating the exchange of neuronal 
morphologies, channel and synaptic mechanisms and network structure across
simulators. 


Best wishes,

Padraig Gleeson, Volker Steuber and Angus Silver
