NEURON: A Tool for Neuroscientists

Yale University

N. T. Carnevale

Yale University

NEURON is a simulation environment for models of individual neurons and networks of neurons that are closely linked to experimental data. NEURON provides tools for conveniently constructing, exercising, and managing models, so that special expertise in numerical methods or programming is not required for its productive use. This article describes two tools that address the problem of how to achieve computational efficiency and accuracy.

Key Words: computer model • computational neuroscience • neural model • spatial grid
