This website is devoted to the exchange of information between users and developers of the GEneral NEural SImulation System.

What is Genesis?

GENESIS (short for GEneral NEural SImulation System) is a general purpose simulation platform that was developed to support the simulation of neural systems ranging from subcellular components and biochemical reactions to complex models of single neurons, simulations of large networks, and systems-level models. As such, GENESIS, and its version for parallel and networked computers (PGENESIS) was the first broad scale modeling system in computational biology to encourage modelers to develop and share model features and components.


New site

The new genesis-sim site is up and many functions are being put in place for users. 

The user login functionality is still under development.  

All content remains accessible.

If you need assistance from GENESIS users please feel free to join the sourceforge mailing list, there are instructions for that here.

Sorry if you had an account before, most of the previous ones were deleted so we can move to a more portable system for future features and services we will be offering for neuroscience research. Forums will soon be in place as well.

The old genesis-sim site is still accessible here http://www.genesis-sim.org/GENESIS/ and old bookmarks should still work accordingly. In the future all old content will be transitioned to the new site and will be easily updatable and searchable site-wide. If you have any questions, comments, feedback or feature requests for the site, please use the contact link in the navigation block on the left to contact the site administrators.
