Arbor is a software library that serves to efficiently simulate large-scale networks of neurons with detailed morphological structure. It combines facilitated customization of neuronal and synaptic mechanisms with high-performance computing, enabling to use diverse backend architectures such as multi-core CPU and GPU systems [1]. On the one hand, many computational and experimental studies show the importance of diverse plasticity processes in shaping the dynamics of neuronal networks, being the basis of cognitive processes such as learning and memory. On the other hand, in recent years, stud
