Theory and Simulation in Neuroscience
Open accessAbstract
Theory Drives Understanding: The role of theory and simulation in neuroscience has been hotly debated over the past few years, in particular in the context of the recent launch of several big projects aimed at creating artificial or virtual brains. Gerstner et al. (p. 60 ) review how theory and simulations have interacted over the years and how they have contributed to our present view of how the brain works.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
