=============================
Large scale BRIAN2 simulation
=============================

This example involves a large scale simulation of a BRIAN2_ network :ref:`brian-framework`.
The example is taken from the `Litwin-Kumar and Doiron paper`_ from Nature neuroscience 2012.

It is split into three different modules: The `clusternet.py` file containing
the network specification, the `runscript.py` file to start a simulation
(you have to be patient, BRIAN simulations can take some time), and
the `plotff.py` to plot the results of the parameter exploration, i.e. the
Fano Factor as a function of the clustering parameter `R_ee`.
