-In addition to that each neuron group may initialize and use additional [[StateVectors|StateVector]]. For instance, the ''get_state_vector("foobar")'' function returns the pointer to a [[StateVector]] with handle foobar. If the instance does not exist prior to the call, a new instance with that specifier will be created.+In addition to that each neuron group may initialize and use additional [[StateVector|StateVectors]].

 +Some neuron groups additionally use auxiliary or temporary variables which are often defined as [[StateVector|StateVectors]]. It is customary to begin their key with the prefix ''t_'' for "temporary". Note however, that also these temporary variables are stored alongside the neuron model when the network state is saved.
