NESTML is a domain-specific language for neuron and synapse models. These dynamical models can be used in simulations of brain activity on several platforms, in particular NEST Simulator.
NESTML combines an easy to understand, yet powerful syntax, with good simulation performance by means of code generation, through a flexible and user-friendly toolchain.
Full documentation can be found at:
models - Example neuron models in NESTML format.
pynestml - The source code of the PyNESTML toolchain.
tests - A collection of tests for testing of the toolchain's behavior.
doc - The documentation of the modeling language NESTML as well as processing toolchain PyNESTML.
