From the hippo directory you can run the simulation with the following three commands: 1. genesis (this assumes you have already installed genesis on your machine and set your path so it can be started from the hippo directory) 2. Hippo (this will start the hippocampus region CA3 simulation -- it takes a while at the end to initialize delays) 3. lrs (this will run the specific simulation of encoding and retrieval of sequences of activity) WARNING - NEVER CLOSE ANY GENESIS WINDOW! It shuts genesis off completely, killing the current simulation. Will plot one membrane potential on screen. Can see raster plot by hitting button labelled: "Plot_PYR_Spike_Times" (only updates the window when you hit the button -- don't close the window as it will shut off genesis). Will plot total spiking with the "Plot_PYR_Activity_Level" button. -----------------------OVERVIEW A description of the different versions is in "sim-index" -----------------------VERSIONS 'man rcsintro' gives you a brief description of all the commands. The command I use to create a new version is: ci -f -l * to check in all the files in the directory as version 'ver_num.1'. The program automatically prompts you for a description. co -rb -l checks out revision rev_num. The -l option allows you to edit the checked out file. If you check out a file that you had already checked out before, co asks you whether you want to erase (overwrite) the previously checked out version or not. If not, checkout is aborted. ci prompts you to enter the text description of the new version, and one just has to follow the instructions on screen.
