Research status · publishedThe published eight-population reference architecture is catalogued; platform reproduction is pending.

The 1% and 10% scales are proposed proportional versions, not validated reproductions. Backend results here are illustrative until the solver is integrated.

Scientific overview

What this model represents

Eight excitatory and inhibitory populations across cortical layers 2/3, 4, 5 and 6. The catalogue and graph represent the published architecture; any browser run is labelled as a proportional proxy rather than the full model.
