Abstract: GENESIS (the GEneral NEural Simulation System) was developed \nas a research tool to provide a standard and flexible means for \nconstructing structurally realistic models of biological neural systems. \n"Structurally realistic" simulations are computer-based implementations \nof models whose primary objective is to capture \nwhat is known of the anatomical structure and physiological characteristics \nof the neural system of interest. The GENESIS project \nis based on the belief that progress in understanding structure-function \nrelationships in the nervous system specifically, or in biology \nin general, will increasingly require the development and use \nof structurally realistic models (Bower, 1995). It is our view that \nonly through this type of modeling will general principles of neural \nor biological function emerge.
