NEST by Example: An Introduction to the Neural Simulation Tool NEST Version 2.6.0
نویسندگان
چکیده
The neural simulation tool NEST can simulate small to very large networks of point-neurons or neurons with a few compartments. In this chapter, we show by example how models are programmed and simulated in NEST. This document is based on a preprint version of Gewaltig et al. (2012) and has been updated for NEST 2.6 (r11744). Updated to 2.6.0 Hans E. Plesser, December 2014 Updated to 2.4.0 Hans E. Plesser, June 2014 Updated to 2.2.2 Hans E. Plesser & Marc-Oliver Gewaltig, December 2012

NEST by example: an introduction to the neural simulation tool NEST
NEST is a simulator for networks of point neurons, that is, neuron models that collapse the morphology (geometry) of dendrites, axons, and somata into either a single compartment or a small number of compartments (Gewaltig and Diesmann, 2007). This simplification is useful for questions about the dynamics of large neuronal networks with complex connectivity. In this text, we give a practical in...

متن کاملNEST: An Environment for Neural Systems Simulations
NEST is a framework for simulating large, structured neuronal systems. It is designed to investigate the functional behavior of neuronal systems in the context of their anatomical, morphological, and electrophysiological properties. NEST aims at large networks, while maintaining an appropriate degree of biological detail. This is achieved by combining a broad range of abstraction levels in a si...
متن کاملNEST: a network simulation & prototyping testbed
This paper describes Nest, an graphical environment for distributed networked systems simulation and rapid-prototyping. Nest users can develop and test distributed systems and protocols (from crude models to actual system code) within simulated network scenarios. Nest represents an environment-based approach to simulation. Users view Nest as an extension of their standard Unix'"" environment. N...
متن کاملCyNEST: a maintainable Cython-based interface for the NEST simulator
NEST is a simulator for large-scale networks of spiking point neuron models (Gewaltig and Diesmann, 2007). Originally, simulations were controlled via the Simulation Language Interpreter (SLI), a built-in scripting facility implementing a language derived from PostScript (Adobe Systems, Inc., 1999). The introduction of PyNEST (Eppler et al., 2008), the Python interface for NEST, enabled users t...
