-\item A forward modeling scheme for calculating extracellular potentials from compartmental membrane currents in an infinite homogeneous linear extracellular medium.
-\item Simple to use Python-classes for setting up cells, synapses and recording electrodes.
-\item Easy to use scripting capabilities thanks to NEURON and the Python programming environment.
-\item Functionality to employ or specify biophysically detailed model neurons, add a stimulus, and perform a simultaneous simulation of the model cell responses and extracellular potentials.
-\item Support for common formats for reconstructed neuronal morphologies, allowing use of publicly available 3D-reconstructions (e.g., \url{http://www.neuromorpho.org}).
