The
Ultimate GENESIS Tutorial Distribution This is the June 2009 release of a complete self-paced GENESIS modeling course, combined with GENESIS 2.3 binary and source distributions and installation instructions. It provides an easy way to get everything by downloading a single package.
The collection of tutorials and documentation is based on an extended version of the GENESIS Neural Modeling Tutorials package, and includes course material used at several international courses on neural modeling, and other material that is available as separate downloads from the GENESIS web site. The section "Getting Started With Realistic Neural Modeling" serves as a guide, with suggested exercises for self-paced study. In addition to the GENESIS Reference Manual and Book of GENESIS, it contains additional GENESIS network simulation scripts. These include the Nenadic, Ghosh and Ulinsky large scale model of turtle visual cortex, and the Menne, et al. hippocampal network model. The files here are organized in a manner suitable for burning the "UGTD" to a CDROM for course use.

These have the same contents, and are each about 44 MB in size. This material is all freely distributable under the terms of various GNU licenses, so you are encouraged to copy it and pass it around to anyone who might want to incorporate it into a neuroscience or modeling course, or to give to a student as a start on an independent modeling project.
What is biologically realistic neural
modeling?
These are introductory lectures on computational neuroscience and realistic neural modeling, illustrated with GENESIS tutorial simulations. There are sections on the Hodgkin-Huxley model and compartmental modeling that might be useful to those who are studying them for the first time, who need some review, or would like to use them in a course. They are included in both the "GENESIS Neural Modeling Tutorials" and "Ultimate GENESIS Tutorial Distribution" packages.
