Abstract:


    For decades neuroscientists have studied how the neural architecture produces adaptive behaviors. However, conducting experiments on real animals has its limitations. For example, attempting to take measurements from numerous neurons while the animal is moving is often difficult. Although a number of neural simulators, such as NEURON and GENESIS, have been developed to help study models of neurons and networks of neurons, existing neural simulators lack the capability to integrate animal behavior simulations with neuron or neural network simulations.
