This example produces a soma trajectory similar to that shown in fig 7a of Archie, K.A. and Mel, B.W. A model of intradendritic computation of binocular disparity Nature Neuroscience 3:54-63, 2000. Differences are due to synaptic noise. Successive runs will produce different trajectories in response to randomly computed synaptic event times. The out.gif file shows the trajectory first obtained by launching the mosinit.hoc file. This example is based on the files from http://www-lnc.usc.edu/~karchie/synmap/ but includes a sample geom.Rin and grat_0_0.75.all.in (generated from an optimal response grating) file to allow autolaunch of the example via the mosinit.hoc file. The changes to allow autolaunch consist of moving the mod files from a subdirectory to the top level and a test in hoc/synapses.hoc to allow automatic loading of the grat...in file. The code which generates synaptic input files (not present in this example but see the Readme_karchie file for a copy of the instructions for that package) has been superseded by the package at http://www-lnc.usc.edu/snv/ "SNV is a package for generating realistic spike trains in NEURON simulations. Users create stimulus "movies," use linear-nonlinear cascade models to generate the response of afferent neurons then map those responses into synapses in specified locations on a cell." Please contact karchie@lnc.usc.edu with questions about the paper, model parameters, and usage of the snv system. Contact michael.hines@yale.edu for questions about running this example.
