NEST-Compatible Synapse Models

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_synapse`	Fixed-weight, fixed-delay synapse spec (NEST `static_synapse`).
`static_synapse_hom_w`	Static synapse with a single weight shared across all connections.
`bernoulli_synapse`	Static synapse with stochastic (Bernoulli) transmission (NEST `bernoulli_synapse`).
`cont_delay_synapse`	Static synapse with a continuous, sub-timestep delay (NEST `cont_delay_synapse`).

`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 spec.
`rate_connection_delayed`	NEST-compatible `rate_connection_delayed` connection spec.
`sic_connection`	NEST-compatible `sic_connection` synapse model for astrocyte-to-neuron slow inward current (SIC) coupling.
