[Vogels et al 2011](http://www.sciencemag.org/content/334/6062/1569.short) provides an extension of the model described in [Vogels and Abbott 2005](http://www.jneurosci.org/content/25/46/10786.short) mainly in order to evaluate the role of inhibitory synapse plasticity in recovering an asynchronous network state after a manifestation of some memory pattern (i.e., highly correlated activity of some neuron group).

In order to install PyNN see http://neuralensemble.org/trac/PyNN/wiki/Installation. Make sure to use the latest v0.8 version from [GitHub](https://github.com/NeuralEnsemble/PyNN), which includes the required Vogels2011Rule synapse. Note: NEURON is the only supported simulator for this model at the moment.
