| 22 | The tutorial is composed of three parts in which the user learns to model neuronal networks step by step. | ||

| 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. | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | |||
| 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: | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | - large scale networks, | ||
| 36 | - networks of spatial neurons | ||
| 37 | - using plasticity | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | |||
| 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]. | ||
