计算神经科学对工具的需求越来越大，这些工具允许协作建模、模型共享、将现有模型组合到一个更大的系统中(多尺度模型集成)，并能够使用各种模拟引擎和硬件平台模拟模型。分层的XML模型规范格式解决了许多这样的问题，然而，如果没有工具，它们很难编写和可视化。在这里，我们描述了一个新的图形软件工具，SpineCreator，它促进了点峰神经元或率编码神经元的分层模型的创建和可视化，而不需要编程。我们通过复制和可视化已发布的模型来演示该工具，并使用直接连接到SpineCreator的代码生成来显示模拟结果。作为神经网络图形创建的独特应用，SpineCreator代表着神经元建模向前迈出的重要一步。
There is a growing requirement in computational neuroscience for tools that permit collaborative model building, model sharing, combining existing models into a larger system (multi-scale model integration), and are able to simulate models using a variety of simulation engines and hardware platforms. Layered XML model specification formats solve many of these problems, however they are difficult to write and visualise without tools. Here we describe a new graphical software tool, SpineCreator, which facilitates the creation and visualisation of layered models of point spiking neurons or rate coded neurons without requiring the need for programming. We demonstrate the tool through the reproduction and visualisation of published models and show simulation results using code generation interfaced directly into SpineCreator. As a unique application for the graphical creation of neural networks, SpineCreator represents an important step forward for neuronal modelling.
