Abstract
This chapter gives a brief overview of simulation tools and resources available to researchers wishing to create computational models of hippocampal function. We outline first a number of software applications which provide a range of functionality for simulating networks of neurons with varying levels of biophysical detail. We then present some ongoing initiatives designed to facilitate the development of models in a transparent and portable way across different environments. Next, we describe some of the publicly accessible databases which can be used as resources by computational modellers. Finally we provide an outlook for the field, highlighting some of the current issues facing biophysically detailed modelling and point out some of the key initiatives and sources of information for future modelling efforts.
