- GENESIS is a biological neural net simulator developed by Jim Bower's
- group at Caltech. It uses X Windows and has a nice graphical user
- interface called XODUS. You can model individual neurons or networks
- of them. There are a number of neural net simulators available.
- Several of them are discussed and compared in an article in the
- November 1992 issue of Trends in Neurosciences:
-
- E. De Schutter (1992) "A consumer guide to neuronal modeling
- software" TINS 15:462-464.
-
- There is a table in that article giving addresses for the people
- responsible for the packages it discusses. The GENESIS contact is

- By the way, that whole issue of TINS is about modeling the nervous
- system, so you might want to check it out.
