 ### Creating new simulation data
 
-To work with newly simulated data, you first have to run the necessary simulations, by executing `run_simulations.py`. Please note that you will need to provide sufficient resources on an HPC cluster. (TODO: More information)
-You then have to set `LOAD_ORIGINAL_DATA = False` in the plot scripts to switch them to using new data.
+To work with newly simulated data, you first have to run the necessary simulations. In `network_simulations.py`, we define the parameter dictionaries for all simulations along with data structures associating simulations with the respective figures. To run the simulations for a specific figure, execute the `run_simulations(figure)` (set `all` for all figures and e.g. `Fig2` for figure 2). Please note that you will need to provide sufficient resources on an HPC cluster.
+You then have to set `LOAD_ORIGINAL_DATA = False` in the `Snakefile` and the respective plot scripts to switch to using new data.
 
 ### Experimental data
 
 Figure 6 requires the experimental data of Chu CCJ, Chien PF, Hung CP. Multi-electrode recordings of ongoing activity
 and responses to parametric stimuli in macaque V1, available in the crcns.org database. Please register on [https://www.crcns.org/](https://www.crcns.org/), download the data from [https://portal.nersc.gov/project/crcns/download/pvc-5](https://portal.nersc.gov/project/crcns/download/pvc-5), extract them into a path and then set this path in `helpers.py`.
 
-Figure 8 requires the experimental fMRI data that are contained in this repository in `Fig8_exp_func_conn.csv`.
