Parallel and serial growth
Code for parallel and serial axonal outgrowth, as described in [1], is available here.
Multiple time windows
Code for connection establishment following time windows, as described in [2], is available here. The generated networks are available here. All scripts and functions are described in detail in the documentation.
Using multiple time windows, leading to heterochronous and spatially ordered neurodevelopmental gradients, Goulas and colleagues were able to reproduce brain connectivity patterns as observed in fly and human connectomes [3]. Their code is available here.
