This is the readme for the model associated with the paper: Huang S, Hong S, De Schutter E (2015) Non-linear leak currents affect mammalian neuron physiology. Front Cell Neurosci 9:432 This model was contributed by Dr. S. Hong. To run check that a recent version of NEURON (available at www.neuron.yale.edu) with python and mpi is installed. Then compile the mod files with nrnivmodl, (or mknrndll on mac or pc). Finally run the simulation with a command like python fig1_run.py Then display the results which are similar to Fig 2A in the paper with a command like: python fig1_show.py which should generate a figure like:![]()
