[NEST Users] Re: Multi-compartmental models

Dear Benedict, NEST comes with a simple conductance-based three-compartment integrate and fire neuron model. Its name is iaf_cond_alpha_mc. The model has compartments for the soma, the distal dendrite and the proximal dendrite. An example of how to connect it can be found here: https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guides/connection_managemen… The source code of the model is here: https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/blob/master/models/iaf_cond_alpha_mc… https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/blob/master/models/iaf_cond_alpha_mc… If you should need much more complex or realistic multi-compartment models, NEST might not be the right tool for you and you should have a look at Arbor: https://github.com/arbor-sim/arbor Best regards, Jochen!
