iaf_cond_exp
iaf_cond_exp - Simple conductance based leaky integrate-and-fire neuron model
Description
iaf_cond_exp is an implementation of a spiking neuron using IAF dynamics with conductance-based synapses. Incoming spike events induce a post-synaptic change of conductance modelled by an exponential function. The exponential function is normalised such that an event of weight 1.0 results in a peak conductance of 1 nS.
