These models are part of the the Catacomb interactive modelling package. The chapters refer to the book Computational Neuroscience: Realistic Modeling for Experimentalists; Erik de Schutter, Editor, CRC Press.

You can run the models either through a Java- and Javascript-enabled Web browser by clicking on the thumbnail images, or by installing the standalone version of Catacomb where they appear under the models menu.
