- The simulation advances in 1 ms steps, modeling each neuron as a leaky battery with a roughly 2 ms pause after firing.
Field notes
The page distinguishes the connectome data from the activity simulation: neuron locations and connections stay fixed, while modeled firing changes over time. It describes stimulus inputs as written profiles informed by research, and notes that some neurotransmitter labels are predictions; a handful of cases are corrected where the page says lab work contradicts them.
