hh_psc_alpha_clopath – Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model with support for Clopath plasticity¶
Description¶
hh_psc_alpha_clopath
is an implementation of a spiking neuron using the
Hodgkin-Huxley formalism and that is capable of connecting to a Clopath
synapse.
(1) Postsynaptic currents Incoming spike events induce a postsynaptic change of current modelled by an alpha function. The alpha function is normalized such that an event of weight 1.0 results in a peak current of 1 pA.
(2) Spike Detection Spike detection is done by a combined threshold-and-local-maximum search: if there is a local maximum above a certain threshold of the membrane potential, it is considered a spike.
