Some features of NEURON's simulation environment:

• it optimizes speed and convenience
• it incorporates channels and mechanisms
• it has a facility for adding new channels and mechanisms
• it imports morphology data from 3-D reconstructions
• it imports experimental records for parameter and model fitting
• it handles a wide range of problems: sub-cellular to networks
• Graphic windows for simulation control and plotting

• Simulations can be packaged for browser launching
• Browsers can be instructed to launch NEURON simulations
