C elegans muscle cell model in NeuroML 2

This is a NeuroML 2 implementation of the C elegans muscle cell model of Boyle & Cohen, 2008.

To install & run this version, install either jNeuroML (for jnml, as outlined here), or PyNeuroML (for pynml, as outlined here).

Get a local copy of this repository with:

git clone https://github.com/openworm/muscle_model.git

or

git clone git@github.com:openworm/muscle_model.git  # if SSH authentication is set up locally

Go into the directory with the NeuroML 2 version of the model:

cd muscle_model/NeuroML2

Run the example cell (trying to reproduce Figure 2A in Boyle & Cohen, 2008) with:

jnml LEMS_Figure2A.xml  # using jNeuroML

or

pynml LEMS_Figure2A.xml  # using PyNeuroML

Run the example cell (trying to reproduce Figure 2B in Boyle & Cohen, 2008) with:

jnml LEMS_Figure2B.xml
pynml LEMS_Figure2B.xml

An iPython notebook with examples of how to explore elements of the muscle model is available at Explore.ipynb.
