Model-specific user interface components

BranchedCell


about the class

[BranchedCell_thumbnail] Instances of BranchedCell can be built from scratch or imported. The editor allows moving, adding and removing points, subdividing segments, and attaching an arbitrary set of clamps and voltage recorders to points on the structure.

 

CFNetwork


about the class

[CFNetwork_thumbnail] Continuous Firing Rate Networks CFNetwork have a series of nodes representing groups of neurons and connections between them. Node and connection types are added or modified with the controls on the right. Those that have been defined are available in the main window to be torn off and stuck together to construct networks.

 

HHChannel


about the class

[HHChannel_thumbnail] Ion channels following a Hodgkin-Huxley like formalism. The equilibrium open fraction and time constants are shown for each gate. They may be manipulated by dragging the curves, or with the corresponding sliders. Any number of gates may occur on a channel, and each gate can be raised to small integer powers to indicate identical serial copies.

 

IaFNetwork


about the class

[IaFNetwork_thumbnail] Integrate and fire networks are composed of nodes and links, where each node represents a population of cells with the same properties, and each link represents a connectivity rule. Profile or patterned (BinaryControl) inputs may be attached to cell populations.

 

KSChannel


about the class

[KSChannel_thumbnail] Channels based on kinetic schemes, KSChannel, are defined by the possible transitions between different states of the channel. The state diagram can be constructed by tearing off states or transitions and sticking them together. The transitions rates may be constant or depend on the voltage, or agent concentrations, and can be controlled with the corresponding voltage dependence or binding curves.

 

KSStateView


about the class

[KSStateView_thumbnail] Stochastic simulation of a set of kineticScheme channels. You can vary the membrane potential as the simulation is running and the display shows how the state of each channel evolves. The total conductance and voltage history are also shown.

 

NetView


about the class

[NetView_thumbnail] The results of running an integrate and fire network include the timecourse of the potential at each of the recordable cells, the connectivity of the network, and the strengths of all the synapses through time. To help visualize this data it is packed in a NetView object. The NetViewEditor lets you play through the data as a movie and select cells and synapses to view in detail.

 

ReacDiff2Results


about the class

[ReacDiff2Results_thumbnail] Movie of the results of a reaction-diffusion calculation. The data is interpolated onto the solution area in a choice of ways from simply filling polygons with the color value at the center to subdividing each triangle into ten smaller triangles. Where more than one pool is present in the reaction scheme, the one to display can be selected with the species slider.

 

ReactionScheme


about the class

[ReactionScheme_thumbnail] A reaction scheme is composed of various pools and the reactions between them, constructed by the usual tear-and-stick process. Catalyzed reactions, and those of the form A+B -> C are included as special cases. Others can be built up by linking pools in an equation-like manner.

 

SteppedProfile


about the class

[SteppedProfile_thumbnail] Very much like the ProfileEditor with the additional possibility of imposing independent incremental steps on any points in the Profile.
