The virtual slice setup (Lytton et al. 2008)

Accession: 116838

"In an effort to design a simulation environment that is more similar to that of neurophysiology, we introduce a virtual slice setup in the NEURON simulator. The virtual slice setup runs continuously and permits parameter changes, including changes to synaptic weights and time course and to intrinsic cell properties. The virtual slice setup permits shocks to be applied at chosen locations and activity to be sampled intra- or extracellularly from chosen locations. ..."

Neurosci Methods. 171:309-15.  PMID: 18452996, 2008.

This model will only run under unix/linux.
How to run:
  nrnivmodl
  nrngui mosinit.hoc

leads user through a demo of major features
turn off demo by setting 'showdemo=0' at top of mosinit.hoc

note 'Help' button at bottom of major menu 'Slice'

generated windows are not arranged since I found that my default
placements ended up off the screen for some users

while the slice runs the modeler can control the simulation
interactively through control panels and graphs of activity are
displayed:
