Can NEURON model a "memory" network?

I've built a small network, trying to train it. Is that possible, I don't whether NEURON is a dynamic or not?
Can Neuron support synaptic plasticity or changing the weight adaptively?

Yes. What learning rule do you have in mind?

What do you mean by "dynamic"?

If you can describe the rule for plasticity by a formula or algorithm, it can be implemented.

dynamic means it's not a time-invariant system.
I'm a neurologist, finding it's too hard to program in NEURON. If NEURON is going to be widely used, it should be much easier to use.
Anyway, thanks for your help, and I will keep on it.

If by this you mean "parameters can change in the course of a simulation" the answer is yes, NEURON is "dynamic."

NEURON does lack built-in learning rules and GUI tools for specifying them. I wonder if NEST or a connectionist simulator would be more to your liking.
