KappaNEURON integrates the SpatialKappa simulator with NEURON to allow rule-based simulations of molecular systems embedded in neurons.
Project description
KappaNEURON
KappaNEURON integrates the SpatialKappa simulator with NEURON to allow rule-based simulations of molecular systems embedded in neurons.
For example, the package facilitates simulation of dynamic models of the postsynaptic proteome in the context of the spine head.
