List of all members.

Detailed Description

A static spike transmitting synapse (no synaptic dynamics).

We call a synapse a static synapse if the amplitude of each evoked conductance change is equal. Here we implement a conductance $g(t)$ of the form $g(t)=W\cdot\exp(-t/\tau)$ for each spike which hits the synapse at time $t$ with an amplitude of $W$ and a decay time constant of $\tau$ . The responses of all the spikes are added up linearly.

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...).
