What’s going on here?

Code accompanying the Shiu et al. paper, for activating and silencing neurons in a computational model based on an adult fruit-fly connectome.

THE IMPORTANT BIT

Where the wiring ends,
and the model begins.

This is a computational model and companion repository, not a biological validation of all simulated activity.
