Application of a “Staggered Walk” Algorithm for Generating Large-Scale Morphological Neuronal Networks

Large-scale models of neuronal structures are needed to explore emergent properties of mammalian brains. Because these models have trillions of synapses, a major problem in their creation is synapse placement. Here we present a novel method for exploiting consistent fiber orientation in a neural tis...
