Variables and parameter names

Conventions for parameters

1. Do not use capitalization to indicate whether a value in the status dictionary is variable. 1. Where available, use the notation from P.Dayan & L.F.Abbott, _Theoretical Neuroscience_, MIT Press, 2001. 1. Where not available, use a notation that is consistent with Dayan & Abbott. 1. Subscripts are indicated by underscores
