Essentially, RNS++ is an environment for simulating neural networks as dynamical system models. RNS++ features a flexible time- and contingency-sensitive environment manager, neurobiologically- realistic activation equations, and a variety of optional biophysical specializations in a menu-driven graphical interface. Powerful optimization routines allow automated fitting of arbitrarily complex data. RNS++ is most appropriate for simulations where the timing of simulated behavioral response is important, where neurophysiological cell types or the fine time course of imaging data are to be modeled, or where biophysical specializations are simulated to satisfy functional constraints.
