The Neuronal Tissue Models (T-NEURO) enable the dynamic modeling of EM-induced neuronal activation, inhibition, and synchronization using either complex, multi-compartmental representations of axons, neurons, and neuronal networks with varying channel dynamics, or generic models.
Contents
  • Sim4Life uses the NEURON solver developed at the Yale University which is ideal for studying interaction mechanisms, evaluating and optimizing neurostimulating devices, and assessing safety issues. T-NEURO now also permits to accurately and efficiently deal with neural sensing – the simulation of measurable electric signals resulting from neural activity.
  • Embedded geometrical and dynamical representation of neurons (soma, axon, and dendritic tree) generate physiologically functionalized anatomical models.
  • The SENN model (safety standards) and more complex models can be applied inside whole-body models. The graphics user interface (GUI) facilitates the integration of other neuronal models from commonly used databases or independently derived models.
  • T-NEURO has been validated against published data andex vivo and in vivo measurements, and is continually advanced and validated.
