AFAIK, Markram (leader of Blue Brain) isn't officially connected to SyNAPSE. He's one of the external advisors for a closely related project housed out of my department, though, so you could say he has an informal link. (it's a small field)

Thanks for your response. I'm doing an internship with Blue Brain this coming Summer-Fall, so I'm trying to get the lay of the land so to speak. It's a very interesting field, and I look forward to working in it.

Best of luck with your project.
