NEST simulation

NEST (Neural Simulation Tool) is a software platform used to model and simulate how networks of neurons in the brain function. It allows researchers to create detailed virtual brain circuits, observe their activity, and understand complex neural behaviors. By adjusting parameters like connection strength or neuron types, scientists can explore brain processes, test hypotheses, and study disorders. NEST helps bridge the gap between theoretical neuroscience and experimental data, providing a powerful tool to analyze the emergent activity of large groups of interconnected neurons in a realistic, computational environment.
