This project is a reproduction using the original code, 17 years after the original publication, of:

Davison A.P., Feng J. and Brown D. (2003) Dendrodendritic inhibition and simulated odor responses in a detailed olfactory bulb network model. Journal of Neurophysiology 90: 1921-1935 doi:10.1152/jn.00623.20021921

It has been submitted to ReScience C: https://github.com/ReScience/submissions/issues/37

The aim of this project is to convert an original NEURON model written by Alain Destexhe, published in the following article:

Destexhe, A. (2009) Self-sustained asynchronous irregular states and Up/Down states in thalamic, cortical and thalamocortical networks of nonlinear integrate-and-fire neurons. Journal of Computational Neuroscience 27: 493-506. [arXiv preprint: http://arxiv.org/abs/0809.0654]

from Hoc to PyNN. Using PyNN makes it possible to simulate the model using the NEST and Brian simulators, and using the FACETS / BrainScaleS neuromorphic hardware, as well as NEURON.

The project is also intended as a case study of converting a NEURON model to PyNN.
