activate_hoc_syn¶

single_cell_parser.synapse.ExSyn.activate_hoc_syn(source, targetCell, threshold=10.0, delay=0.0, weight=0.0)¶

Setup of all necessary hoc connections.

Stores all mechanisms and NetCons for reference counting.

Parameters:¶

source : single_cell_parser.cell.PointCell¶

Presynaptic cell whose single_cell_parser.cell.PointCell.spikes attribute is used as source in NEURON’s NetCon object. Note that in the context of a synapse, spikes means release times, which is not necessarily the same as the presynaptic spike times.

targetCell : single_cell_parser.cell.Cell¶

Postsynaptic cell.

threshold : float¶

Activation threshold. default is \(10mV\)

delay : float¶

Delay between the activation of the presynaptic cell and the synapse. Default is \(0ms\)

weight : float¶

Weight of the synapse.
