GENESIS (short for GEneral NEural SImulation System) is a general
purpose simulation platform that was developed to support the
simulation of neural systems ranging from subcellular components and
biochemical reactions to complex models of single neurons, simulations
of large networks, and systems-level models. As such, GENESIS, and its
version for parallel and networked computers (PGENESIS) was the first
broad scale modeling system in computational biology to encourage
modelers to develop and share model features and components. Most
current GENESIS applications involve realistic simulations of
biological neural systems. Although the software can also model more
abstract networks, other simulators are more suitable for
backpropagation and similar connectionist modeling.
