"... As a practical demonstration of the use of CoCoDat we constructed a detailed computer model of an intrinsically bursting (IB) layer V pyramidal neuron from the rat barrel cortex supplementing experimental data (Schubert et al., 2001) with information extracted from the database. The pyramidal neuron morphology (Fig. 10B) was reconstructed from histological sections of a biocytin-stained IB neuron using the NeuroLucida software package..."
