Command: clopath_synapse

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference
Name:
clopath_synapse - Synapse type for voltage-based STDP after Clopath.
Description:
clopath_synapse is a connector to create Clopath synapses as defined
in [1]. In contrast to usual STDP, the change of the synaptic weight does
not only depend on the pre- and postsynaptic spike timing but also on the
postsynaptic membrane potential.

Clopath synapses require archiving of continuous quantities. Therefore Clopath
synapses can only be connected to neuron models that are capable of doing this
archiving. So far, compatible models are aeif_psc_delta_clopath and
hh_psc_alpha_clopath.
Parameters:

======= ====== ==========================================================
tau_x ms Time constant of the trace of the presynaptic spike train
Wmax real Maximum allowed weight
Wmin real Minimum allowed weight
======= ====== ==========================================================
\endverbatim

Other parameters like the amplitudes for long-term potentiation (LTP) and
depression (LTD) are stored in in the neuron models that are compatible with the
Clopath synapse.
Transmits:
SpikeEvent
