Nijmegen, The Netherlands 4 7 9 It aims at simulations of large neural systems with more than 10 neurons and 10 to 10 Reviewed by: synapses. NEST is implemented in C++ and can be used on a large range of architectures from Upinder S. Bhalla, National Center for Biological Sciences, India single-core laptops over multi-core desktop computers to super-computers with thousands of Terrence C. Stewart, Carleton processor cores. Python (http://www.python.org) is a modern programming language that University, Canada has recently received considerable attention in Computational Neuroscience.
