NEST Base Classes

Warning

Experimental — In Development. The NEST-compatible model family is under active development. Parameter names, defaults, numerical behavior, and the set of available models may change without notice across 0.0.x releases. See the NEST-style status page for current scope and limitations.

NEST Base Classes#

Abstract marker base classes for all NEST-compatible models in brainpy.state. Every NEST-compatible class inherits from exactly one of these four bases, which makes it easy to introspect model type at runtime (e.g. isinstance(model, NESTPlasticity)).

NESTNeuron

Abstract base class for all NEST-compatible neuron models.

NESTSynapse

Abstract base class for all NEST-compatible synapse models.

NESTPlasticity

Abstract base class for all NEST-compatible plasticity synapse models.

NESTDevice

Abstract base class for all NEST-compatible device models.
