Code structure

This code contains several modules, the most important are:

• model contains an adapted version of BlueBrain/BluePyEmodel core functionalities for evaluating electrical models, built on top of BlueBrain/BluePyOpt
• tasks contains the luigi workflows to run MCMC, adapt and generalise electrical model
• bluecellulab_evaluator contains functions to compute currents with BlueBrain/BlueCelluLab and hoc files of models
• mcmc contains the code to run MCMC sampling of electrical models
• information contains some WIP code to compute information theory measures on sampled electrical models

Examples

We provide several examples of the main functionalities of the emodel-generalisation code:

• run MCMC on a simple single compartment model in examples/mcmc/mcmc_singlecomp
• run MCMC on a simple multi-compartment model in examples/mcmc/mcmc_simple_multicomp
• run the entire generalisation worklow on a simplified version of the L5PC model of the paper in examples/workflow
• provide all the scripts necessary to reproduce the figures of the paper. For the scripts to run, one has to download the associated dataset on dataverse with the script get_data.sh in examples/paper_figures
