Why size matters in brain simulations: Larger networks reveal properties smaller models miss. With exascale supercomputers like JUPITER, we’re testing theories of memory, epilepsy, and more! @newscientist.com interviews Markus Diesmann, Johanna Senk and Thomas Nowotny go.fzj.de/newscientist...
Registration for the EBRAINS Student Conference March 11-12 in Nice, France is open! Get hands-on with NEST and NESTML and other tools in the EBRAINS universe ebrains.eu/news-and-eve...
Check out this great Theoretical Neuroscience Podcast where Prof. Gaute Einevoll interviews Prof. Hans Ekkehard Plesser about reproducibility issues in research and how the Potjans-Diesmann network model has become a vital (and reproducible) community tool! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGhF...
SAVE THE DATE! On June 16-17, 2026, the NEST Initiative is excited to invite everyone interested in Neural Simulation Technology and the NEST Simulator to the NEST virtual Conference 2026. Registration and abstract submission will open soon!
