GENESIS (GEneral NEural SImulation System) is a software platform for the simulation of neural systems ranging from subcellular components and biochemical reactions to complex models of single neurons, large networks, and systems-level processes.

Features

  • Object oriented modeling paradigm facilitates:
  • - modification, reuse, and exchange of models or model components
  • - extension of simulator functionality by adding new classes or commands
  • "hsolve" solver object allows fast implicit matrix methods and delivery of spike events, while preserving the illusion of separate objects
  • From the outset GENESIS was designed for network modeling and parallelism
  • Powerful scripting language allows custom-scripted simulation GUIs and specification of large network models with only a few lines of code.

Project Samples

Example of a custom-scripted GUI for a network simulation. Frames (A-E) show successive intervals in the development and interference (E) of cortical waves from a two-tone input in the ACnet2 GENESIS auditory cortex model.
