integrate_and_fire

Note: use attribute cond_law="integrate_and_fire" and no other attributes here when using this. 
Signifies a current which will cause the cell to behave like an integrate and fire neuron

Element Information

Model

Attributes

QName Type Fixed Default Use Inheritable Annotation
g_refrac ConductanceValue required
Conductance during the period t_refrac after a spike, when the current due to this mechanism is given by i = g_refrac*(v - v_reset), therefore a high value for g_refrac, e.g. 100 microsiemens, will effectively clamp the cell at v_reset
t_refrac TimeValue required
Time after a spike during which the segment will be clamped to v_reset (clamping current given by i = g_refrac*(v - v_reset))
threshold VoltageValue required
Voltage at which the mechanism causes the segment/cell to fire, i.e. membrane potential will be reset to v_reset
v_reset VoltageValue required
Membrane potential is reset to this after spiking
