wb_cond_exp

wb_cond_exp - Wang-Buzsaki model

Description

wb_cond_exp is an implementation of a modified Hodkin-Huxley model.

  1. Post-synaptic currents: Incoming spike events induce a post-synaptic change of conductance modeled by an exponential function.

  2. Spike Detection: Spike detection is done by a combined threshold-and-local- maximum search: if there is a local maximum above a certain threshold of the membrane potential, it is considered a spike.
