Workshop: "Using the NEURON Simulation Environment," a Short Course to be Presented at the Society for NeuroscienceMeeting, Oct. 25, 1997, New Orleans, LA

IBN：9727258 PI-Carnevale神经科学新开发的计算工具是神经元，它允许计算机模拟神经细胞和小型网络中的各种活动模型。这一短期课程向潜在用户提供介绍，使他们能够决定它是否对他们自己的工作有用，介绍有效使用模拟的实用技术和策略，并为高级用户提供新功能的更新。因为这个现实的生物刺激工具是专门为各种计算平台设计的，所以它是一个非常复杂的工具，可以广泛而免费地获得。这门课程的影响可能非常大，涉及神经科学的所有领域，因为它促进了定量建模与研究和教育的整合，其方式远远超出了现在被视为计算神经科学的领域。

IBN: 9727258 PI-CARNEVALE A newly developed computational tool for neuroscience is NEURON, which allows computer simulation of a variety of models of activity in nerve cells and small networks. This short course gives an introduction to potential users to allow them to decide whether it will be useful for their own work, to introduce practical techniques and strategies for effectively using simulations, and to provide advanced users an update on new features. Because this tool for realistic biological stimulation is specifically designed for a variety of computational platforms, it makes a very sophisticated tool that is widely and freely available. The impact of this course is potentially very large, across all fields of neuroscience, because it promotes the integration of quantitative modeling into research and education in ways that extend far beyond what is now regarded as the domain of computational neuroscience.
