clopath_synapse – Synapse type for voltage-based STDP after Clopath¶
Description¶
clopath_synapse
is a connector to create Clopath synapses as defined
in [1]. In contrast to usual STDP, the change of the synaptic weight does
not only depend on the pre- and postsynaptic spike timing but also on the
postsynaptic membrane potential.
Clopath synapses require archiving of continuous quantities. Therefore Clopath
synapses can only be connected to neuron models that are capable of doing this
archiving. So far, compatible models are aeif_psc_delta_clopath
and
hh_psc_alpha_clopath
.
Warning
This synaptic plasticity rule does not take precise spike timing into account. When calculating the weight update, the precise spike time part of the timestamp is ignored.
Parameters¶
tau_x |
ms |
Time constant of the trace of the presynaptic spike train |
Wmax |
real |
Maximum allowed weight |
Wmin |
real |
Minimum allowed weight |
Other parameters like the amplitudes for long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD) are stored in the neuron models that are compatible with the Clopath synapse.
