As an introduction to the general neural simulation system (GENESIS) and the
x-based online display utility for simulations (XODUS), we have put together
a demonstration simulation and tutorial (SQUID) which will help you learn how 
to use these tools for  constructing your own simulations and for customizing 
your user interface.  In the process of working through this tutorial, you will
also learn something about the Hodgkin-Huxley model.  This program may serve as
a good starting point for those of you who plan to work on single-cell models
for your course project.


Look in the file 'squid.text' for a tutorial on running this demo.
