These files contain GENESIS scripts for an 8-cell network model of the leech heart interneuron beat timing circuit. To run, you need GENESIS with a couple special extensions. You may obtain these along with their installation documentation from http://calabreselx.biology.emory.edu/software.html To run the tutorial for the model, type lgenesis tutorial.g from this directory, where lgenesis is the GENESIS executable. So that the tutorial can find the support files it needs, you'll need to actually run the tutorial from the same directory as this README file. The tutorial has introductory material and help contained within it. You should not need to access any of the material contained in the "tutorial", "intro", or "model" directories directly--they merely contain support files for the tutorial. Note 1: You may want to make sure you have GENESIS working before running this tutorial. A quick test would be to run GENESIS with no command arguments to make sure that it opens and shows a prompt. You may have to copy the ".simrc" file from the GENESIS/startup directory if you are using GENESIS for the first time. Note 2: For technical reasons, loading a saved parameter set only works if you have write access to the tutorial directory. If you do not have write access to this directory, you'll need to either make a copy of the whole directory to a place where you have write access or modify the loadscript.g function in the tutorial folder. Instructions are given in the comments of that file.
