Research status · in progressA full-scale engineering run is reported; validation gates remain open.

The reference model and the site's reported run use slightly different approximate synapse counts. No browser execution or real Model Hub CPU/MPI execution is connected yet.

Scientific overview

What this model represents

The macaque visual-cortex multi-area model spans 32 areas and 254 layer- and cell-type-resolved populations. This diagram aggregates the network; it is not a complete 254-population wiring specification. The site's prior engineering note reports a full-scale run around 4.13 million neurons and 24.1 billion recurrent synapses, with scientific equivalence still under validation.
