Model Components

The available Neuron, Input Neuron, Synapse, and Plasticity types are described in this section. These are all used by the SpikingModel to run a simulation.

Neurons

• Leaky Integrate and Fire (LIF) Spiking Neurons

Input Neurons

• Poisson Input Spiking Neurons
• Generator Input Spiking Neurons

Synapses

• Conductance Based Synapses
• Current Based Synapses
• Voltage Synapses

Plasticity Rules

• Weight Dependent (Optional) STDP Rule
• Inhibitory Plasticity Rule (Vogels et al. 2011)
• Weight Normalisation
