Nest

• PyNN and Nest (as of Oct 22) do not come with compartmental models.
• You can however specify your own models.
• In the past I've made quite a few models (mostly for fatiguing leaky integrate and fire neurons, and synaptic changes).
• You need to build Nest from scratch (which isn't too hard).
• You then need to write the model (I think in C++), and integrate it into the build.
• There are some tweaks to link it into PyNN (mostly pathing stuff).
• There is also a mechanism to specify models more flexibly, which I haven't used.
