<div dir="ltr"><br><br>This is a public announcement of the GENESIS-2.4 tutorial at the<br>
Computational Neuroscience meeting (CNS) in Quebec City and the<br>official public beta release of GENESIS 2.4. This new release<br>
includes support for spike-timing dependent plasticity in large<br>networks of multicompartmental cells, bug fixes, comes with new python<br>utilities and tutorial materials.<br><br>The "Ultimate GENESIS Tutorial Distribution", included in this<br>
release, contains updated course materials for the tutorial<br>Constructing biologically realistic neuron and network models with<br>GENESIS.<br><br>The tutorial brings together material that is available as separate<br>
downloads from the GENESIS web site and through the GENESIS Users<br>
Group. It includes several simulator-independent tutorials on<br>biologically realistic neural modeling, as well as both tutorial and<br>research simulations that have been implemented with GENESIS.<br><br>The latest version of this GENESIS tutorial distribution will be<br>
available at <a href="http://genesis-sim.org/GENESIS/UGTD.html" target="_blank">http://genesis-sim.org/GENESIS/UGTD.html</a>.<br><br>The GENESIS tutorial at the CNS meeting is introductory and aimed at<br>people who are new to or have only elementary knowledge about the<br>
GENESIS-2 simulator, as well as those who have used GENESIS in the<br>past and would like to learn of new developments in cortical network<br>modeling with GENESIS.<br><br>* introduction and overview<br><br>** Why are we doing this?<br>
<br>** resources<br><br>** installation and configuration overview<br><br>* single neuron modeling and visualization<br><br>* debugging model and script<br><br>* fast simulations with hsolve<br><br>* network modeling<br>
<br>
* spike-timing dependent plasticity<br><br>During the last hour of the tutorial, I will show in detail how to<br>technically debug models, scripts and source code, at various levels<br>of implementation.<br><br>The latest news can always be found at <a href="http://genesis-sim.org/GENESIS/" target="_blank">http://genesis-sim.org/GENESIS/</a><br>
