33 -==== 1) NEST Desktop ====
34 -
35 -The first part of the tutorial, we look at NEST Desktop.  As a goal we will create and analyze a balanced two-population network.

39 -==== 2) NEST Simulator ====
40 -
41 -The tutorial will then turn to Jupyter (Python) notebooks where we will start by creating a spiking neurons. 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:
42 -
43 -* neuronal dynamics
44 -* large scale networks,
45 -* networks of spatial neurons
46 -* using plasticity
47 -
48 -
49 -==== 3) NESTML ====
50 -
51 -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].
