SNNAP2NEURON

An automated translation tool for converting SNNAP models into NEURON models

Usage

1. Download this project, extract it, and navigate to the extracted directory.

2. Install the tool by running python setup.py develop.

3. From any directory, you can now run the snnap2neuron command on a SNNAP .smu simulation file, e.g.,

   snnap2neuron my_sim.smu

   Alternatively, use the Python API:

   >>> from snnap2neuron import snnap2neuron
   >>> snnap2neuron('my_sim.smu')

In the directory containing the SNNAP .smu file, a new folder named NRNModel_[name] will be created, containing the necessary .hoc files to replicate the results of the SNNAP simulation in NEURON.

All the necessary .mod files will be found in the directory of this project: SNNAP2NEURON/utilityFiles/snnap_modFiles.

1. Compile the *.mod files:

   • Windows
   • Mac
   • Linux/Unix

2. Run NRNModel_[name]/sim_[name].hoc with NEURON.

Your SNNAP results should be reproduced. For help visualizing them, check UseExample.ipynb.
