Cortical microcircuit model¶
This is a PyNEST implementation of the cortical microcircuit model by Potjans and Diesmann 1.
Here you can inspect all files belonging to this example:
README: documentation of this microcircuit model implementation and its usage
run_microcircuit.py: an example script to try out the microcircuit
network.py: the main Network class with functions to build and simulate the network
helpers.py: helper functions for network construction, simulation and evaluation
network_params.py: network and neuron parameters
stimulus_params.py: parameters for optional external stimulation
sim_params.py: simulation parameters
reference_data: reference data and figures obtained by executing run_microcircuit.py with default parameters
