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.

Main dependencies
Installation
BlueCelluLab can be pip installed with the following command:
pip install bluecellulabQuick 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 ...

Running the tests
Testing is set up using tox:
pip install tox
tox -e py3 # runs the tests
tox -e lint # runs the format checksFunding & Acknowledgements
