Currently, only the compartmental stellate cell model [1] is included.
I will add the oi and can model implementations at a later time.

INSTALLATION

Install NEURON, ideally with Python support:
http://www.neuron.yale.edu

USAGE

1. Compile the mechanism files in the mod directory:
   $ nrnivmodl nrn/mod

2. Run the demo:
   $ ./x86_64/special demo/test_rin.hoc -

   or

   $ python demo/test_rin.py

The demo runs with 11 injected current pulses from -0.05 to .45 nA in
steps of 0.05.  When the demo is finished (takes a few seconds) you
should have a graph that looks like this:
