neuron - 8.2.2-4 main

NEURON is a simulation environment for modeling individual neurons and networks
of neurons. It provides tools for conveniently building, managing, and using
models in a way that is numerically sound and computationally efficient. It is
particularly well-suited to problems that are closely linked to experimental
data, especially those that involve cells with complex anatomical and
biophysical properties.
.
NEURON offers
* "natural syntax", which allows one to specify model properties in
familiar idioms
* efficient and painless spatial and temporal discretization
* several different, user-selectable numerical integration methods
* convenient user interface (interpreters + GUI)
* user-extendable library of biophysical mechanisms
