To obtain the NeuronC simulation language

NeuronC is used for simulating neural circuits, especially in the visual system. It is a simulation language, with interpreted and compiled versions. Statements/functions allow constructing a biophysically-based neural circuit (1 neuron up to 10,000 neurons) and running a physiology experiment on it.

NeuronC includes a 2D stimulator with spot, bar and grating stimuli, optical blur and voltage and current clamps. It can construct a compartmental model of any neural geometry including resistive loops (required for arrays of neurons connected by gap junctions).

The gcc-compatible source is available from:

NeuronC runs under virtually any Unix system, and is currently developed under Linux. There is a DOS version available. We recommend Slackware, RedHat, or Fedora. Linux.
