profile · synthesized from sources

Neurospaces is a project focused on developing software components for computational neuroscience simulators. It aims to move away from monolithic software systems by creating independent, modular components for neuronal modeling and simulation. The project provides tools for model storage, solving, scheduling, and visualization, primarily for single neuron modeling.
