KeywordValueDescription
SYN_FACIL_DEPRESS
N/A
Indicates the start of a RSE definition section
TYPE
name(string)
The name which is used to refer to this RSE
SEED
value(integer)
The random number generator for this object will use the seed specified
SFD
name(string)
The RSE function to use in the synapse. Choices are:
NONE - assumes no RSE is being calcuated
DEPR - assumes depression but no facilitation
FACIL - assumes facilitation but no depression
BOTH - has both facilitation and depression
FACIL_TAU
mean(real)
stdev(real)
The initial value of the facilitation tau.
Used in determining how much neuro transmitters are released with each spike
DEPR_TAU
mean(real)
stdev(real)
The initial value of the depression time constant.
Used in determining how much neuro transmitters are released with each spike
END_SYN_FACIL_DEPRESS
N/A
Indicates the end of a RSE definition section
