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-Compatible Synapse Models

Static and structural synapse models compatible with the NEST simulator. For activity-dependent plasticity models see NEST-Compatible Plasticity Models.

Static Synapses

static_synapse	NEST-compatible static (non-plastic) synapse connection model.
static_synapse_hom_w	NEST-compatible static_synapse_hom_w with shared homogeneous weight.
bernoulli_synapse	NEST-compatible bernoulli_synapse connection model.
cont_delay_synapse	NEST-compatible static synapse with continuous (off-grid) delays.

Gap Junctions & Special Connections

gap_junction	NEST-compatible gap_junction connection model for electrical synaptic coupling.
diffusion_connection	NEST-compatible diffusion_connection connection model.
rate_connection_instantaneous	NEST-compatible rate_connection_instantaneous connection model.
rate_connection_delayed	NEST-compatible rate_connection_delayed connection model.
sic_connection	NEST-compatible sic_connection synapse model for astrocyte-to-neuron slow inward current (SIC) coupling.
