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, **, tau_m, V_th, C_m, E_L, E_R, V_m, t_ref)#: 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. Optional parameters may be given and set the correspoding physical parameters of 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].

E_R#: Reset potential [mV].

V_m#: Initial value of the Membrane potential [mV].

t_ref#: Refractory period [ms].
