1. Introduction

Simulation of a Cortico-Basal Ganglia-Thalamocortical network model. The architecture and dynamics of the network can be seen in the reference. The objective is to analyze the effect of the intensities of the synaptic connections on the dynamics of the network. In particular, associating pathological and physiological states in Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, it is desired to study the effect of deep brain stimulation on the pathological dynamics of the network.
