Command: stdp_pl_synapse_hom

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference

Name:
 stdp_pl_synapse_hom - Synapse type for spike-timing dependent
   plasticity with power law implementation using homogeneous parameters, i.e. 
   all synapses have the same parameters.

Description:
   stdp_pl_synapse is a connector to create synapses with spike time 
   dependent plasticity (as defined in [1]). 
   
  
Parameters:
   tau_plus  double - Time constant of STDP window, potentiation in ms 
                      (tau_minus defined in post-synaptic neuron)
   lambda    double - Learning rate
   alpha     double - Asymmetry parameter (scales depressing increments as alpha*lambda)
   mu        double - Weight dependence exponent, potentiation
