sic_connection – Synapse type for astrocyte-neuron connections
==============================================================

Description
+++++++++++

``sic_connection`` connects an astrocyte to a target neuron. It exposes the target neuron to a slow inward current (SIC)
induced by the astrocyte. The amplitude of the current is the product of the astrocytic current and the weight of the
``sic_connection``.

The source node of a ``sic_connection`` must be an astrocyte emitting a slow inward current, and the target node must be
able to handle slow inward current input. Currently, :doc:`aeif_cond_alpha_astro` is the only neuron model that can
receive ``sic_connection``. The connection may have a delay.
