Arbor Tutorial Index – from Cells to Networks

Level: beginner  Type: interactive tutorial

A simple single cell model

Level: beginner  Type: user documentation

This tutorial will give you an intro into building a morphology from an arbor.segment_tree, region and locset expressions and into decors and cell decorations.
Furthermore will you learn about building an arbor.cable_cell object, arbor.single_cell_model object as well as  running a simulation and visualising the results.

Advanced

GPU and profiling

Level: advanced  Type: user documentation

This tutorial will show you how to build an arbor.context using a GPU. This requires that you have built Arbor with GPU support enabled. Further you will learn to build an arbor.domain_decomposition and provide an arbor.partition_hint. Finally you will profile an Arbor simulation using arbor.meter_manager.

A single cell model from the Allen Brain Atlas

Level: advanced  Type: user documentation

This tutorial will teach you how to take a model from the Allen Brain Atlas,
load a morphology from an swc file and a parameter fit file and apply it to an arbor.decor. It will further show you how to build an arbor.cable_cell representative of the cell in the model and an arbor.recipe reflective of the cell stimulation in the model. Finally you will be running a simulation and visualising these results.
