iaf_psc_alpha_multisynapse – Leaky integrate-and-fire neuron model with multiple ports
======================================================================================

Description
+++++++++++

iaf_psc_alpha_multisynapse is a direct extension of iaf_psc_alpha.
On the postsynaptic side, there can be arbitrarily many synaptic
time constants (iaf_psc_alpha has exactly two: tau_syn_ex and tau_syn_in).

This can be reached by specifying separate receptor ports, each for
a different time constant. The port number has to match the respective
"receptor_type" in the connectors.

.. note::

   If `tau_m` is very close to a synaptic time constant, the model
   will numerically behave as if `tau_m` is equal to the synaptic
   time constant, to avoid numerical instabilities.

   For implementation details see the
   `IAF_neurons_singularity <../neuron_docs/model_details/IAF_neurons_singularity.ipynb>`_ notebook.
