Arbor Extends Simulator To Support Plasticity
9.3
Relevance ScoreLuboeinski et al. (published Feb 12, 2026) extend the Arbor simulator to implement a broad set of spike-driven synaptic plasticity rules for single synapses up to large recurrent networks. They benchmark performance against NEURON and point-neuron models, reporting similar runtime to point models and marked efficiency and memory advantages versus NEURON. The open-source extension enables scalable GPU/MPI morphological simulations and reveals dendritic length effects on memory storage.
