How to list NEURON section properties/information?

In NEURON simulator, is there a way to list properties of a section other than iterating over each property individually?

Solution

  • If you are using the NEURON GUI, you could also find section properties in the NEURON's control menu:

    Tools-> Model View

    This will open a ModelView window which has section and segment details such as:

    • Type of cells: real cells/ artificial cells
    • NetCon objects
    • LinearMechanisms objects
    • Density Mechanisms
    • Point Processes

    If you click on each property, a drop-down menu appears showing the details of the property selected

    You could also view the structure of the model if you click on the cell type (real/artificial cells).
