### Focus of the meeting
15 1 Padraig Gleeson
16 18 Padraig Gleeson
There are an increasing number of cortical cell and network models being developed and made publicly available, from networks of leaky integrate and fire neurons based on cortical connectivity and firing properties, to multicompartmental, conductance based cell models. Many of these are being reused, reimplemented and extended to address new scientific questions by labs around the world.
17 1 Padraig Gleeson
18 56 Padraig Gleeson
In this meeting, we looked at the range cortico-thalamic models out there which are of widespread interest and discussed the best ways to get these into public, open source repositories, in standardised formats such as NeuroML and PyNN. We investigated the steps needed to ensure these models are well tested, annotated and ready for use as research tools by the attendees and the wider community.
19 18 Padraig Gleeson
20 55 Padraig Gleeson
There were presentations from experimentalists who are producing the data to constrain these models, as well as simulator and application developers who are creating the infrastructure to build, simulate, analyse and share the models.
