Hi,<br>
<br>
A paper describing the current version of NeuroML has just been
published in PLoS Computational Biology:<br>
<br>

Networks with a High Degree of Biological Detail</b><br>

This describes in detail the structure of version 1.x (Levels 1-3,
MorphML,
ChannelML, NetworkML), includes a detailed discussion of the elements
present at each level (see supporting text:

along
with example NeuroML code, outlines current simulator support,
and presents a number of new cell and network models which have been
converted to the format.<br>
<br>
These new models, including a morphologically detailed CA1 pyramidal
cell and a number of cells from the Traub et al 2005 thalamocortical
network model are available here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

and
are
also included with a new release of neuroConstruct, v1.4.0. More on
this release can be found here:
