SpikeFun v0.91 is out and brings support for more advanced long-term plasticity - Voltage-based STDP (based on the model of Clopath et. al). Voltage-based STDP is in agreement with more experimental data than conventional STDP models that consider spike timing only.

SpikeFun v0.90 is out and brings support for more advanced pyramidal neuron morphologies such as apical tufts and dendritic tree branching. In addition, new milestone has been reached - simulation with 3.52 billion synapses, which is just some 0.5 billion synapses shy of the current built-in simulation limits.

SpikeFun and its DigiCortex engine have been scaled to accommodate simulation of 16.7 million multi-compartment neurons with 2.1 billion synapses. To my best knowledge, this is the largest-scale simulation of cortical neurons on a home PC. Click on the title to find out more!
