List of files

(1) run_simulations.py
  

This file runs all the code in files 2, 3 and 4, generating the data in ‘my_runs/‘ and the 
figures in 'Figures/'.
  

(2) Single_CA1_neuron.py
  

Simulates a feedforward network of rate-based neurons with plastic excitatory
synapses and novelty signal.
  

(3) Make_figs0.py
  

Plots and save the figure generated with the data produced from (1) and (2). Figures are 
saved in Figures/. This code extracts the data and plots the evolution of the mean neuron activity.
  

(4) Make_figs1.py
  

Plots and save the figure generated with the data produced from (1) and (2). Figures are 
saved in Figures/. This code extracts the data and plots the evolution of place fields (somatic and dendritic).
  

  

To simulate the network and plot the figures

1. run (1): simulates the network, saves the results and generates the figures found in Figures;
