Introduction to using the Traub et al 2005 model
================================================
First, and most importantly, please remember that this is a **work in progress**!
The original Traub et al model was developed in FORTRAN, this was converted to NEURON by Tom Morse and Michael Hines (for important information on this see [here](http://senselab.med.yale.edu/ModelDB/ShowModel.asp?model=82894&file=\nrntraub\README)), and this has now been converted to NeuroML & neuroConstruct.
Install neuroConstruct & get latest project
=========================================== -------------------------------------------
See the instructions [here](http://www.opensourcebrain.org/projects/neuroconstructprojects/wiki/Wiki) [here](http://www.opensourcebrain.org:8080/projects/neuroconstructprojects/wiki/Wiki) regarding obtaining the latest version of neuroConstruct.
Install NEURON, GENESIS or MOOSE (see project:simulators).
To get a local copy of the Thalamocortical project type:
`git clone git://github.com/OpenSourceBrain/Thalamocortical.git`
View a cell in 3D

Test installation with single cell simulation
============================================= ---------------------------------------------
Run a single cell on NEURON…

Generate synapse files
====================== ----------------------
Currently the majority of the synapse models (ChannelML based synapses in **cellMechanism** folder) are not included in the project in the repository.
These are generated by a script **makeSyns.sh** in **pythonScripts/netbuild**. This script was manually created from the info in teh Appendix of the original paper (it’s easier to check/update the values in **makeSyns.sh** than through the neuroConstruct GUI).
This script (or **makeSyns.bat** on Windows) needs to be run once to generate files **cellMechanisms/Syn\_AMPA\_L4SS\_L4SS/ChannelMLSyn.xml** etc.
