Before revision:  FNS combines spiking/synaptic whole-brain modelling with the event-driven approach, allowing us to define heterogeneous  modules and multi-scale connectivity with delayed connections and plastic synapses , providing fast simulations at the same time. A novel parallelization strategy is also implemented in order to further speed up simulations .

In order to allow multi-thread implementations a novel parallelization strategy is also implemented in order to further speed up simulations .
