NESTSynapse#

class brainpy.state.NESTSynapse(*args, **kwargs)#

Abstract base class for all NEST-compatible synapse models.

Covers static synapses (static_synapse, static_synapse_hom_w, bernoulli_synapse, cont_delay_synapse), short-term-plasticity synapses (tsodyks_synapse, tsodyks_synapse_hom, tsodyks2_synapse, quantal_stp_synapse), gap junctions (gap_junction, diffusion_connection), rate connections (rate_connection_instantaneous, rate_connection_delayed), and other connection models (sic_connection).

Long-term / activity-history plasticity synapse models (STDP, voltage-based learning rules) inherit from the more specific NESTPlasticity subclass.
