Architecture of CNModel. The modeling platform is divided according to conceptual levels and implementations. At the lowest level, the model includes specific mechanisms of ion channels, synaptic release mechanisms, and neurotransmitter receptors, implemented in NEURON (bottom container). At the next level, these components are combined to generate electrically excitable cells, as directed by a Cells class in Python (middle container). At the next level, Populations of cells can be combined into a circuit as specified in Python (top container). Excitatory connections are shown with solid lines; inhibitory connections are shown with dashed lines. An external auditory periphery model can be used to generate spike trains in spiral ganglion cells (SGC). Tuberculov.: Tuberculoventral cells.
