gap_junction – Synapse type for gap-junction connections¶
Description¶
gap_junction is a connector to create gap junctions between pairs of
neurons. Gap junctions are bidirectional connections. In order to
create one accurate gap-junction connection between neurons i and j
two NEST connections are required: For each created connection a
second connection with the exact same parameters in the opposite
direction is required. NEST provides the possibility to create both
connections with a single call to Connect via the make_symmetric flag.
The value of the parameter delay is ignored for connections of
type gap_junction.
