10 +* the different levels of abstraction that can be used in modelling biological nervous systems and their components;
11 +* the range of software tools that are available for modelling and simulation of neural systems;
12 +* the challenges created by having so many different tools;
13 +* some other tools that try to address these challenges, such as PyNN and NeuroML;

12 12  This tutorial is intended for people with at least a basic knowledge of neuroscience (high school level or above) and basic familiarity with the Python programming language. It should also be helpful for people who already have advanced knowledge of neuroscience and neural simulation, who simply wish to learn how to use PyNN, and how it differs from other simulation tools they know.
