through the central basics of using ngc-learn's in-built biophysical components,

also called "cells" and "synapses", to craft and simulate adaptive neural systems
and biophysical computational models.

Usefully, ngc-learn starts with a collection of cells -- those that are partitioned into
those that are graded / real-valued (`ngclearn.components.neurons.graded`) and those that spike
(`ngclearn.components.neurons.spiking`). In addition, ngc-learn supports another
collection called synapses -- generally, those that are learned with Hebbian schemes
(`ngclearn.components.synapses.hebbian`) such as spike-timing-dependent plasticity
and multi-factor rules. With the in-built, standard cells and synapses in these two

ngc-learn supports another collection called synapses -- generally, those that
adapt (or "learn") with biological credit assignment building blocks
(such as those in `ngclearn.components.synapses.hebbian`) such as
spike-timing-dependent plasticity and multi-factor rules. With the in-built,
standard cells and synapses in these two
core collections, you can readily construct a wide variety of models, recovering
many classical ones previously proposed in research in computational neuroscience
and brain-inspired computing (many of these models are available for external
download in the `Model Museum <https://github.com/NACLab/ngc-museum>`_.
