LIF cells

class lif_cell

A benchmarking cell (leaky integrate-and-fire), used by Arbor developers to test communication performance, with neuronal parameters:

lif_cell(cell_tag_type source, cell_tag_type target)

Constructor: assigns the label source to the single built-in source on the cell; and assigns the label target to the single built-in target on the cell.

cell_tag_type source

The label of the single built-in source on the cell. Used for forming connections from the cell in the recipe by creating a connection.

cell_tag_type target

The label of the single built-in target on the cell. Used for forming connections to the cell in the recipe by creating a connection.

double tau_m

Membrane potential decaying constant [ms].

double V_th

Firing threshold [mV].

double C_m

Membrane capacitance [pF].

double E_L

Resting potential [mV].

double E_R

Reset potential [mV].

double V_m

Initial value of the Membrane potential [mV].

double t_ref

Refractory period [ms].
