-====== Duty cycle ======
-Once a simulation is triggered by the ''run()'' directive in [[System]] the simulation evolves according to a fixed loop structure.
-First [[System]] will call all the ''evolve()'' methods of all registered instances of [[SpikingGroup]]. During this step all dynamic ODEs of the the neuron and synapse models are updated. Then in a second step it calls all ''propagate()'' methods of instances of [[Connection]] objects. This generally takes care of propagating spikes produced by any [[SpikingGroup]] and delivers them to [[NeuronGroups]] where they have their effect on the specified transmitter target (see [[TransmitterType]]). Now all [[Monitors]] are called via their ''propagate()'' function. This is mainly to write results to files or do some online monitoring (see [[Checker]]). In a final step the ''evolve()'' function of [[Connection]] objects are called. This is generally to implement continuous weight updates caused for instance by a synaptic decay.
