Network Models

Here we have several examples of large-scale network models developed for NEST.

You can see how to build other networks for various neuron, synapse and device types in our examples gallery.

We have a detailed guide on spatially-structured networks as well.

Brunel Network

A random balanced network

Random balanced network (alpha synapses) connected with NEST

Microcircuit Model

A network model example based on Potjans and Diesman 2014

Cortical microcircuit model

Mesocircuit Model

A layered cortical network with distance-dependent connectivity
