int AlphaFunctionSpikeResponse::adjust ( double  dt  )  [virtual]

This tells the object that it should adjust to a new simulation time step width.

Reimplemented from SimObject.

Reimplemented in GenericGABASynapse< AlphaFunctionSpikeResponse >, and GenericGlutamateSynapse< AlphaFunctionSpikeResponse >.

Definition at line 8 of file AlphaFunctionSpikeResponse.cpp.

References tau.

Referenced by reset().

int AlphaFunctionSpikeResponse::reset ( double  dt  )  [virtual]

int AlphaFunctionSpikeResponse::advance ( AdvanceInfo const &   )  [virtual]

Calculate the next state and output/propagate the result to succesors/outgoing objects.

The return value of advance contains several bits of information which can be decoded with the bit masks ADVANCEFLAG_* like ADVANCEFLAG_HASSPIKED and ADVANCEFLAG_DEACTIVATE.

Reimplemented from SimObject.

Here is the call graph for this function:

int AlphaFunctionSpikeResponse::spikeHit ( spikeport_t  port,
SpikeEvent const &  spike 
) [virtual]

Function to be called if the object is hit by a spike Called by spike exchange mechanims if a spike hits (arrives at) the object A return value of greater 0 indicates that the object is currently not active and the sim engine has to put this object into its list of active spike receivers. A return value of 0 indicates the the object is currently active (i.e. is already in the list of active receviers) and need not to be put into the list of active synapses.

Here is the call graph for this function:

int AlphaFunctionSpikeResponse::psrLength ( double  dt  )  const [virtual]

The lengh of the postsynaptic response (in time steps).

Here we choose this to be PSR_MULTIPLE_TAU * tau / DT() where PSR_MULTIPLE_TAU (e.g. 5) is set in globaldefinitions.h.
