LIF cells

class arbor.lif_cell

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

lif_cell(source, 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.

source

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

target

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

tau_m

Membrane potential decaying constant [ms].

V_th

Firing threshold [mV].

C_m

Membrane capacitance [pF].

E_L

Resting potential [mV].

V_m

Initial value of the Membrane potential [mV].

t_ref

Refractory period [ms].

V_reset

Reset potential [mV].
