30 -1) The first part of the tutorial, we look at NEST Desktop.  As a goal we will create and analyze a balanced two-population network.

33 -2) The tutorial will then turn to Jupyter (Python) notebooks where we will start by creating a spiking network. Here, we learn advanced steps to write code with NEST Simulation syntax. The scripting codes allow us to customize sophisticated use cases with NEST simulations. Examples are:

40 -3) The last part is using NESTML to create custom neuron and synapse models for NEST Simulator. A functional plasticity rule will then be introduced into the balanced E/I network to implement a biologically realistic version of reinforcement learning. This will be done by formulating the learning model in the NESTML language syntax, and using the associated toolchain to generate code for NEST [4].
