NEST (Neural Simulation Tool)

NEST (Neural Simulation Tool) is a software platform designed to model and simulate large networks of neurons in the brain. It enables researchers to create virtual neural systems, study their behavior, and explore how different brain circuits function. By providing flexible and efficient tools, NEST helps scientists understand complex neural processes, test hypotheses, and develop new theories about brain activity. It is commonly used in neuroscience research for simulating neural networks at different scales, supporting advances in understanding cognition, learning, and neurological disorders.
