Abstract
A three-dimensional voxel space is generated in which to generate a simulated neural circuit. The voxel space includes a plurality of voxels that store localized information. After the voxel space is generated, a plurality of simulated branched neurons, each of which has one or more input and/or output branches that occupy at least one of the voxels, are embedded in the voxel space. One or more of the branches of the plurality of simulated neurons then are generated in a manner that changes the voxels occupied by the grown branches, and the localized information stored in the voxels is updated to reflect the changes in the voxels occupied by the grown branches.
