Readme.txt file for the model associated with the papers Amir R, Devor M. Electrical excitability of the soma of sensory neurons is required for spike invasion of the soma, but not for through-conduction. Biophys J. 2003 Apr;84(4):2181-91. Amir R, Devor M. Extra spike formation in sensory neurons and the disruption of afferent spike patterning. Biophys J. 2003 Apr;84(4):2700-8. Approximate versions of Figures 2 and 3 from the first paper are recreated from the auto-launch in modeldb (requires NEURON installed). Other usage: download and expand the arhive (zip file) on your machine. Use nrnivmodl (unix) or mknrndll (mswin or mac) to compile the mod file. Then execute nrngui mosinit.hoc on the command line in unix or double click on the mosinit.hoc file (mac or mswin).
