Name:
vogels_sprekeler_synapse - Synapse type for symmetric spike-timing
dependent
plasticity with constant depression.
Description:
vogels_sprekeler_synapse is a connector to create synapses with symmetric
spike time dependent plasticity and constant depression (as defined in [1]).
The learning rule is symmetric, i.e., the synapse is strengthened
irrespective of the order of the pre and post-synaptic spikes. Each
pre-synaptic spike also causes a constant depression of the synaptic weight
which differentiates this rule from other classical stdp rules.
