5.1.1.4. ReceivesEPSCstim

class ReceivesEPSCstim

Bases: sciunit.capabilities.Capability

Indicates that the model receives an excitatory post-synaptic current (EPSC) shaped input

Methods Summary

run_EPSC_stim_get_vm(dend_loc, weight, tau1, …)	This function is called by the test and calls the run_EPSCstim() function.
run_EPSCstim(dend_loc, weight, tau1, tau2)	This function must be implemented by the model.

Methods Documentation

run_EPSC_stim_get_vm(dend_loc, weight, tau1, tau2)

This function is called by the test and calls the run_EPSCstim() function.

run_EPSCstim(dend_loc, weight, tau1, tau2)

This function must be implemented by the model.

Must return numpy arrays containing the time and voltage values (at the soma and at the synaptic location )

Parameters

• dend_loc (list) – containing the name of the section (string) and the location (float) where input is received. Eg.: [‘dendrite[3]’, 0.5]

• weight (float) – weight of the synaptic input

• tau1 (float) – rising time constant of the synaptic input

• tau2 (float) – decay time constant of the synaptic input
