Accession:267551
Reconstructed rodent barrel cortical column (thalamic filter-and-fire input, L4 and L2/3 spiking neurons) based on measured distributions, so each run will create a different connectivity). Includes 13 types of inhibitory and excitatory neurons, implemented as Izhikevich neurons. Includes both a Matlab and a Python (NetPyNe) implementation.
