"""
Example script loading and execiting a simulation with the
Hay et al. 2011 L5b-pyramidal cell model, which is implemented by default
using templates.

This script assume that the model files is downloaded and unzipped inside
this folder from ModelDB:
http://senselab.med.yale.edu/modeldb/ShowModel.asp?model=139653

The mod-files inside /L5bPCmodelsEH/mod/ must be compiled using nrnivmodl.

Note that LFPy can only deal with one cell at the time, creating several
cell objects will slow everything down, but each cell *should* get the correct
cell responses.

Execution:

    python example_loadL5bPCmodelsEH.py
