Brain Modeling ToolKit: An open source software suite for multiscale modeling of brain circuits
Fig 3
The Builder module is used to design and instantiate network models. On the left, examples of the Python commands used in BMTK Builder are presented. Note that in this simple example it is assumed that user-defined connection functions “gaussian_distance” and “random_connections” are employed. The purpose of these commands is illustrated schematically on the right. The main stages of model building workflow are defining the nodes and their attributes, defining the connection rules, and then instantiating and saving the network.
