Welcome to Basal Ganglia model’s documentation

The purpose of the project that is here documented is the simulation of a model for the Basal Ganglia Network. The code has been developed in such a way that general networks of supported point neurons can be simulated.

Supported neuron models are (name-conventions of NEST-simulator are adopted, when possible):

• iaf_cond_exp

• iaf_cond_alpha

• aeif_cond_exp

• aqif_cond_exp

• aqif2_cond_exp
