ReMoto 2.2 beta version
Posted by ReMoto Team in June 13, 2012.
There is a new beta version of ReMoto available for download, even though it is still under development. The main feature of this version is the inclusion of a Hill-type musculotendon model as well as a representation of muscle proprioceptors, i.e., spindle and Golgi tendon organs.

What is new in version 2.2 beta

  • Hill-type musculotendon model
  • Muscle proprioceptors
    • Golgi tendon organ (GTO) model (Lin and Crago, 2000)
    • Muscle spindle model (Mileusnic et al., 2006; Prochazka and Gorassini, 1998)
  • Closed-loop through Ia and Ib afferent feedback to the motor nuclei
  •  Isometric torque around the ankle joint
  • Improvements in the display of results
    • Data analysis: Mean, Standard-Deviation, Variance, Minimum, Maximum, and FFT
* Note: The user interface was not finished yet and some minor bugs can occur when plotting the results.
 
ReMoto 2.1 final version
Posted by ReMoto Team in December 12, 2011.
A new version of ReMoto is available, with improved interfaces. The main feature of this new version is the mathematical representation of a dendritic Ca++ channel yielding a persistent inward current (PIC). In addition, the descending commands were updated to represent non-homogeneous Poisson point processes and non-homogeneous renewal point process with Gamma interval distributions.

What is new in version 2.1

  • New motoneuron models with active dendrite
    • Dendritic persistent Ca++ channel
  • Non-homogeneous point processes representing the descending commands
    • Non-homogeneous Poisson point processes
    • Non-homogeneous renewal point processes Gamma ISI distributions
 
Seminar on ReMoto
Posted by ReMoto Team in November 08, 2011.
The seminar "Simulation system of spinal networks and innervated muscles in the lower limb of humans" presented by professor André F. Kohn at the Department of Biomedical Enginnering, University of Southern California, is available from the USC live webcast site. The link is at the Videos section of the Learning Center page.
 
ReMoto 2.1 beta version
Posted by ReMoto Team in November 08, 2011.
There is a new beta version of ReMoto available to download. The major improvement of this new version is the mathematical representation of a dendritic Ca++ channel yielding a persistent inward current (PIC) and plateau potentials. In addition, some general improvements have been made, mainly in the user interface. This new version will be available soon in the web-based application.
 
ReMoto 2.0 standalone version
Posted by ReMoto Team in July 5, 2011.
We are just releasing a new end-user standalone version of the simulator. It is provided as an executable file (Download section). It encompasses all required technologies (source code, server and database) to run the ReMoto simulator in the user's local machine. This version may be useful for users that are temporarily out of an internet link as well as for those who have a very fast computer, so that simulation times may be significantly reduced.
 
ReMoto 2.0 announcement
Posted by ReMoto Team in April 4, 2011.
We are glad to announce the release of a new version of the ReMoto simulator. In this update, our focus was mainly on improvements of its graphical user interface (GUI) and some new funcionalities, such as pre-loaded scenarios and demonstrations, providing a user-friendly environment to simulate many behaviors of the neuromuscular system at different scales.
