Command: stdp_synapse

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference
Name:
stdp_synapse - Synapse type for spike-timing dependent
plasticity.
Examples:
multiplicative STDP [2] mu_plus = mu_minus = 1.0
additive STDP [3] mu_plus = mu_minus = 0.0
Guetig STDP [1] mu_plus = mu_minus = [0.0,1.0]
van Rossum STDP [4] mu_plus = 0.0 mu_minus = 1.0
Description:
stdp_synapse is a connector to create synapses with spike time
dependent plasticity (as defined in [1]). Here the weight dependence
exponent can be set separately for potentiation and depression.
Parameters:

========= ======= ======================================================
tau_plus ms Time constant of STDP window, potentiation
(tau_minus defined in post-synaptic neuron)
lambda real Step size
alpha real Asymmetry parameter (scales depressing increments as
alpha*lambda)
mu_plus real Weight dependence exponent, potentiation
mu_minus real Weight dependence exponent, depression
Wmax real Maximum allowed weight
