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

=================

* `Python 3.8+ `_

* `Neuron 8.0.2+ `_

Installation

============

BlueCelluLab can be pip installed with the following command:

.. code-block:: python

    pip install bluecellulab

Quick Start

===========

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

.. code-block:: python

    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 ...

Tutorial

========

A more detailed explanation on how to use BlueCelluLab, as well as other examples can be found on the `examples page `_.

API Documentation

=================

The API documentation can be found on `ReadTheDocs `_.

Running the tests

=================

Testing is set up using `tox`:

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install tox

    tox -e py3  # runs the tests

    tox -e lint  # runs the format checks
