blenderneuron 2.1.2

Interface for Blender <-> NEURON

=============
BlenderNEURON
=============



`BlenderNEURON <http://BlenderNEURON.org>`_ allows to easily visualize computational neuroscience models created using `NEURON <https://www.neuron.yale.edu/neuron/>`_ simulator in the 3D graphics toolset `Blender <http://blender.org/>`_. 



The tool allows the visualization of neuronal trees (morphology) and simulated activity (compartment membrane potentials). It supports visualization of `single neurons <http://blenderneuron.org/#example-cells-and-activity>`_ and `networks <http://blenderneuron.org/#example-networks>`_. The tool was created by `researchers at Arizona State University <https://iconlab.asu.edu/>`_.

This Python package is Part 1 of 2 (the client), which enables NEURON to communicate with Blender. Part 2 is the Blender addon (the server), which allows Blender to process messages from NEURON. Download Part 2 from `BlenderNEURON.org <http://BlenderNEURON.org>`_.
