Inheritance diagram for DynamicSpikingCbSynapse:

List of all members.

Detailed Description

A dynamic spiking synapse (see Markram et al, 1998).

The conductance $g(t)$ of the synapse is increased by $W\cdot r \cdot u$ when a presynaptic spike hits the synapse and decays exponentially (time constant $\tau$ ) otherwise. $u$ and $r$ model the current state of facilitation and depression.

Public Member Functions

virtual int advance (void)
Advance the state of the Synapse.
virtual int addOutgoing (Advancable *a)
Outgoing objects must be CbNeurons.

Public Attributes

double E
Equilibrium potential given by the Nernst equation.

Private Attributes

double * GSummationPoint
Pointer to postsynaptic conductance summation point within the synaptic target ( Neuron, SynapticChannel, Compartment...).
