The notion of a neuron is separated from the neuron model it belongs to. Thus, neurons in a simulation may belong to different models.
Neurons can have multiple connections with none identical synaptic efficacies and delays.
Action potentials are treated as point-events which are emitted and received by the neurons. The network works with physical SI units to enforce the compatibility of simulation results with experimental data. Simulation setups can be stored in small, self-contained description files, allowing for an easy reproduction of previously yielded results. This implies that all synapses of a neuron must obey the same dynamics. They are identical except for their weights an delays.
