Detailed Description

This struct accompanies the synapses class and is used to provide the a number of parameters to control synapse creation. This is also used as the foundation for the more sophisticated neuron parameter structs for SpikingSynapses etc.

Member Data Documentation

int synapse_parameters_struct::connectivity_type

A CONNECTIVITY_TYPE is set here

int synapse_parameters_struct::gaussian_synapses_per_postsynaptic_neuron

If using CONNECTIVITY_TYPE_GAUSSIAN_SAMPLE, should be set to the max number of desired connections to each postsynaptic neuron. Else, unused.

float synapse_parameters_struct::gaussian_synapses_standard_deviation

If using CONNECTIVITY_TYPE_GAUSSIAN_SAMPLE, should be set to the desired standard deviation of the gaussian distribution to be used to select presynaptic neurons. Else, unused.

int synapse_parameters_struct::max_number_of_connections_per_pair

Used in specific branches to indicate max number of connections between a specific pair of pre and postsynaptic neurons. UNUSED IN THIS BRANCH.

int synapse_parameters_struct::pairwise_connect_postsynaptic

If using CONNECTIVITY_TYPE_ONE_TO_ONE, should be set to the postsynaptic neuron index. Else, unused.

int synapse_parameters_struct::pairwise_connect_presynaptic

If using CONNECTIVITY_TYPE_ONE_TO_ONE, should be set to the presynaptic neuron index. Else, unused.

float synapse_parameters_struct::random_connectivity_probability

If using CONNECTIVITY_TYPE_RANDOM, indicates the probability with which a connection should be made between the pre and post synaptic neurons. Else, unused.

float synapse_parameters_struct::weight_range_bottom

Used for all CONNECTIVITY types. Indicates the lower range (inclusive) of the weight range to be used

float synapse_parameters_struct::weight_range_top

Used for all CONNECTIVITY types. Indicates the upper range (inclusive) of the weight range to be used. If weight_range_bottom == weight_range_top, all weight values are equal. Else, they are a random uniform distribution in this range
