Derived from the seminal Hodgkin-Huxley and FitzHugh-Nagumo models, the Barkley model is probably the simplest continuous model for excitable media. It replaces the cubic term in the FitzHugh-Nagumo model with a piece-wise linear term as a simplification that enables fast simulation.
Examples Menu To explore the potential and modeling features, it is the best to learn by example. Morpheus comes with a range of fully functional example models showcasing a number of model formalism and modeling features.
To show SBML support in Morpheus as of version 2.1 in practice, we give a step-by-step example of how to download, import and extend an SBML model.
1. Get an SBML Model from BioModels First, we browse the BioModels model repository and select a model.
Converting the model from the previous chapter into a 2D model is trivial in Morpheus. In the Space section, you only need to change the Size of the Lattice to e.
“How are neighborhoods defined?”
Types of Neighborhoods Types of neighborhood are used:
Space → Lattice → Neighborhood: This is the default Neighborhood for the lattice. It ist used by the NeighborhoodReporter and fallback for all other Neighborhood definitions.
