The Blue Brain Cellular Laboratory is designed for simulations and experiments on individual cells or groups of cells. Suitable use cases for BlueCelluLab include:

  • Scripting and statistical analysis for single cells or cell pairs.

  • Lightweight, detailed reporting on specific state variables after simulation.

  • Developing synaptic plasticity rules.

  • Validating dynamics of synaptic properties.

  • Automating in-silico whole-cell patching experiments.

  • Debugging, both scientifically and computationally.

Support

We are providing support on Gitter. We suggest you create tickets on the Github issue tracker in case you encounter problems while using the software or if you have some suggestions.

Main dependencies

Installation

BlueCelluLab can be pip installed with the following command:

pip install bluecellulab

Quick Start

The following example shows how to create a cell, add a stimulus and run a simulation:

from bluecellulab.cell import create_ball_stick
from bluecellulab import Simulation

cell = create_ball_stick()
sim = Simulation()
sim.add_cell(cell)
stimulus = cell.add_step(start_time=5.0, stop_time=20.0, level=0.5)

sim.run(25, cvode=False)
time, voltage = cell.get_time(), cell.get_soma_voltage()
# plotting time and voltage ...
Voltage plot
