NeuralDynamics.jl

NeuralDynamics is a package for basic analysis, simulation, and visualization of dynamical models for neurons or networks of neurons. It is based largely on a minicourse taught by @nalewkoz on Neural Bifurcations. The Pluto notebooks can serve as interactive tools to visualize some of the models implemented.

Package Features

• Implementations of some basic neuron and network models.
• Convenience functions for phase analysis and simulation.
• Convenient plotting functions built on Plots.jl.

Installation

The latest release of NeuralDynamics can be installed from the julia package manager REPL with

] add NeuralDynamics

From here the package can be loaded by typing

julia> using NeuralDynamics

into the julia REPL.

See the Tutorial for a basic example of the workflow and features available.

List of currently implemented models

The following models are currently available and can be called using the associated string in parentheses.

• FitzHughNagumo ("FSH")
• Wilson-Cowan ("WC")
• Simple Feed-forward("SFF")

In Progress

• generalize simulation function
• generalize getJacobianEigenvalues function
• Implement HH and LIF models
• Introduce higher order RK methods for simulation
• Add Ising simulation
• Add Bifurcation Diagrams
• Always room to refactor
