20170201 In this version of LFPsim, the ion channel distribution density and size of the individual compartments were considered in the LFP calculation. This modification was supplied by S Diwakar in response to user comments. It does not change the paper or the LFP reconstructions. This is the README for the model associated with the paper: Parasuram H, Nair B, D'Angelo E, Hines M, Naldi G, Diwakar S. Computational Modeling of Single Neuron Extracellular Electric Potentials and Network Local Field Potentials using LFPsim, Front. Comp.

LFPsim works reliably on biophysically detailed multi-compartmental neurons with ion channels in some or all compartments.

Email: harilalp@am.amrita.edu; shyam@amrita.edu www.amrita.edu/compneuro */ How to run LFPsim ================= 1. Copy all LFPsim files and the directory into your NEURON model directory downloaded from ModelDB. Copy lfp.mod and mea.mod from LFPsim to the mechanism directory of the NEURON model. 2. Compile the model; if you had already compiled the model without LFPsim, include the LFPsim mod files and re-compile using "nrnivmodl" or "mknrndll". 3. Load your neuron or network model in NEURON. 4. On the terminal type: xopen("extracellular_electrode.hoc") to initiate LFPsim GUI interface. 5. Set the electrode properties in the GUI. 6. Run the simulation to reconstruct LFP. A detailed step-by-step procedure is also listed in the How-To-LFPsim.pdf document.
