iaf_cond_exp_sfa_rr – Conductance based leaky integrate-and-fire model with spike-frequency adaptation and relative refractory mechanisms

Description

iaf_cond_exp_sfa_rr is an implementation of a spiking neuron using integrate-and-fire dynamics with conductance-based synapses, with additional spike-frequency adaptation and relative refractory mechanisms as described in 2, page 166.

Incoming spike events induce a postsynaptic change of conductance modelled by an exponential function. The exponential function is normalized such that an event of weight 1.0 results in a peak current of 1 nS.

Outgoing spike events induce a change of the adaptation and relative refractory conductances by q_sfa and q_rr, respectively. Otherwise these conductances decay exponentially with time constants tau_sfa and tau_rr, respectively.
