PointCell.turn_off¶

single_cell_parser.cell.PointCell.turn_off()¶

Turns off the spike source.

Calls play() with no arguments to turn off the neuron:VecStim. This is necessary because VecStim does not implement reference counting. Resizes the Vector to 0.

Note

M. Hines: Note that one can turn off a VecStim without destroying it by using VecStim.play() with no args. Turn it back on by supplying a Vector arg. Or one could resize the Vector to 0. Hines and Carnevale [7]
