  1. The #NEST Conference 2026 (nest-simulator.org/conference) has just started! I’m looking forward to two days of talks and discussions on #NeuralNetworks and the latest advances in the #NESTSimulator ✌️

    Btw: We’re using #GatherTown again and I love creating these #8bit-like avatars there 👾

  6. Short-term #synaptic #plasticity (#STP) transiently modulates synaptic strength based on recent activity. #ShortTermDepression #STD reduces efficacy during repeated activity, while #ShortTermFacilitation #STF can enhance responses to closely spaced #spikes. These dynamics shape #NeuralProcessing, #filtering, and synaptic #homeostasis. Here's a short #Python implementation and simulation in #NESTSimulator:

  25. I recently played around with #RateModels using #NESTsimulator. Compared to #SNN, RM focus on average firing rates of #NeuronPopulations, simplifying analysis of large networks. They effectively capture collective dynamics like #oscillations and #synchronization, though they miss precise spike timing details. Thus, both approaches have their merits.
