Overview of the meeting#
As with past OSB meetings this workshop provided an introduction to the OSB initiative and associated technologies and there were a number of presentations from modellers, experimentalists and tool developers interested in creating open, community developed models of neuronal systems.
One day of the meeting was dedicated to creating and sharing experimentally constrained models of the hippocampus.
