"... We here present an environment for the implementation of large networks of generalized integrate-and-fire neurons which uses an asynchronous event-based algorithm. ... The neuronal network to be simulated and all parameters are defined in extendible markup language. A model of the primate early visual system is implemented. The use of the tool is illustrated by simulating the processing of both simple and complex visual scenes through retina, thalamus and primary visual cortex."
Model Type: Realistic Network
Region(s) or Organism(s): Neocortex; Thalamus; Retina
