hh_psc_alpha - Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model.
hh_psc_alpha is an implementation of a spiking neuron using the Hodgkin-Huxley
formalism.
1. Post-synaptic currents
Incoming spike events induce a post-synaptic change of current modelled
by an alpha function. The alpha function is normalised 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.
The following parameters can be set in the status dictionary.
