Simulator-Based Neuronal Database

该项目涉及软件的开发，以促进大脑模型模拟的理解和使用。 该项目基于过去12年在首席研究员实验室开发的GENESIS神经模拟系统。 GENESIS现在被世界各地的许多实验室用作一种工具，帮助构建和运行从亚细胞到整个网络和系统的大脑组织的许多层次的大脑模型。 这个项目将开发一个建模者的工作区，以帮助查找、组织和可视化这些模拟所基于的数据。 此外，该项目还支持将许多其他现有的神经科学数据库链接到工作区。 最后，工作空间还将提供一个新的教育工具，让神经科学的学生了解大脑模型和它们所代表的大脑区域。

This project involves the development of software to facilitate the understanding and use of brain model simulations. The project is based on the GENESIS neural simulation system developed over the last 12 years in the laboratory of the principal investigator. GENESIS is now used in many laboratories throughout the world as a tool to help construct and run brain models at many levels of brain organization from subcellular to whole networks and systems. This project will develop a modeler's workspace to help find, organize, and visualize the data on which these simulations are based. In addition this project provides support to link numerous other existing neuroscience databases to the workspace. Finally, the workspace will also provide a novel educational tool to allow students of neuroscience to understand both brain models and the areas of the brain they represent.
