This is a model of a multistage network with stages representing regions and synaptic contacts from the olfactory cortex to region CA1 of the hippocampus in Brian2 spiking neural network simulator (Trieu et al 2015). It is primarily designed to assess how synaptic facilitation at multiple stages in response to theta firing changes the output of the network. Further developments will be posted at: github.com/cdcox/multistage_network This model was prepared by Conor D Cox, University of California, Irvine For questions please contact Conor at cdcox1@gmail.com
