The LNeuron executable v. 1.07:   LNeuron

The .prm input file using the unedited extracted data:  unedited.prm

The .prm input file disregarding negative taper values and PK max set at 2:  edited.prm 

            See glossary for descriptions of the parameters used in these files.

Dos batch file used to create and rename cells with sequential random seeds:  doswc.bat

            Syntax:  doswc <.prm input file name without extension> <output file name without extension>

                 <number of neurons desired> <number of neurons desired> <1>

            For example to get 50 cells (seeds 1-50):     doswc edited output 50 50 1

This is a beta version, the most recent version can be found at:  http://www.krasnow.gmu.edu/L-Neuron/

Syntax and switches:

LNEURON.EXE <options> <input file name>

            none      (default) output Lviewer VOL file                    To view vol files use the Lviewer.exe located at:  http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljlapre/lparser4.zip

            -s [num]  set random number generator seed to num

All examples in this chapter were created using the ­H, -T, and ­s switches.  The included batch file also runs LNeuron using these switches.
