In the absence of agreement that everyone should use the same simulator, a tool to make it easier to share models between groups was needed, and PyNN was born. Within FACETS, PyNN is being used for simulations of large-scale models of primary visual cortex and of generic cortical circuits with synaptic plasticity. We would like to encourage wider use, and anyone interested in using or developing PyNN should check out http://neuralensemble.org.")
