Required software

For any simulation in this record, one needs Python(version 3.9.9 and higher) and libraries cython, numpy, scipy and matplotlib.

$pip3 install --user numpy scipy matplotlib cython

Additional libraries:

Figure 1 NEURON, pyabf and inspyred
Figure 2,4,5 NEURON, h5py, and neurodsp

To install all libraries for all scripts, use a single command
