Getting started with NeuroML

The best way to understand NeuroML is to work through NeuroML examples to see how they are constructed and what they can do. We present below a set of step-by-step guides to illustrate how models are written and simulated using NeuroML.

Link to guide	Description	Model life cycle stages
Guide 1	Create and simulate a simple regular spiking Izhikevich neuron in NeuroML	Create, Validate, Simulate
Guide 2	Create a network of two synaptically connected populations of Izhikevich neurons	Create, Validate, Visualise, Simulate
Guide 3	Build and simulate a single compartment Hodgkin-Huxley neuron	Create, Validate, Visualise, Simulate
Guide 4	Create and simulate a multi compartment hippocampal OLM neuron	Create, Validate, Visualise, Simulate
Guide 5	Optimise/fit NeuroML models to experimental data	Create, Validate, Simulate, Fit
Guide 6	Guide to converting cell models to NeuroML and sharing them on Open Source Brain	Create, Validate, Simulate, Share
Guide 7	Create novel NeuroML models from components on NeuroML-DB	Reuse, Create, Validate, Simulate
Guide 8	Extend NeuroML by creating a novel model type in LEMS	Create, Simulate

You do not need to install any software on your computers to run many of the examples above. These examples are followed by a Jupyter notebook for you to experiment with inside your browser (more info).
