Brian is a free, open source simulator for spiking neural networks.
A clock-driven simulator using Python with symbolic equation parsing via SymPy and code generation through Cython, enabling efficient neuron and synapse modeling without manual low-level implementation. Integrates with NumPy/SciPy for numerical computation and supports GSL for advanced mathematical operations, while maintaining cross-platform compatibility through standardized Python packaging.
