NeuroML2

Contents

NeuroML2#

NeuroML2 is an XML-based, community standard for describing neuronal models — including detailed morphologies — in a simulator-independent way. braincell reads the morphology portion through braincell.io.NeuroMlReader.

Loading#

from braincell.io import NeuroMlReader

reader = NeuroMlReader()
morpho = reader.read("neuron.cell.nml")

The reader extracts the segment groups and cable geometry from the NeuroML2 document and returns a standard braincell.Morphology, which you then decorate and simulate like any other.

Note

braincell reads NeuroML2 morphology. Channel and network definitions in a NeuroML2 document are not imported automatically — declare mechanisms with braincell.mech as usual (see Mechanisms).
