Preface to The NEURON Book November 29, 2004
teaching, he was introducing students to "computational neuroscience" long before that
glorious term was invented. NEURON had its beginnings in John's laboratory at Duke
University almost three decades ago, when he and one of the authors (MLH) started their
collaboration to develop simulation software for neuroscience research. Users of
NEURON on the Macintosh owe John a particular debt. He continues to participate in the
development and dissemination of NEURON, concentrating most recently on educational
applications in collaboration with Ann Stuart (Moore and Stuart 2004).
The list of those who have added in one way or another to the development of
NEURON is far too long for this short preface. Zach Mainen, Alain Destexhe, Bill
Lytton, Terry Sejnowski, and Gordon Shepherd deserve special mention for many
contributions, both direct and indirect, that range from specific enhancements to the
program, to fostering the wider acceptance of computational approaches in general, and
NEURON in particular, by the neuroscience community at large. We also thank the
countless NEURON users whose questions and suggestions continue to help guide the
evolution of this software and its documentation. We hope that everyone else will forgive
any omission and remind us, gently, in time for the second edition.
Finally, we thank our wives and children for their encouragement and patience while
we completed this book.
