This is a simple test cell without any inputs or outputs. It combines a population of channels with a current stimulus (which may be left blank). a compact cell with ion channels Exports the membrane potential of the cell as a plain scalar quantity (units are mV). potential in the cell relative to external medium info... spike output info... current injections info... driviing potentials The radius of the cell. cell radius The capacitance of the membrane per unit area. See the full CellModel component for details. membrane capacitance info... potential to start the cell at info... Each time the potential moves above the threshold a spike is emitted. This has no effect on the internal dynamics of the cell. threshold potential for emitting spikes This sets the meaning of the channel densities. They can either be treated as continuous quantities, or (multiplied by the area) as giving a discrete number of individual channels. -p- The mixed options allow the interpretation to depend on how many channels there are: stochastic for small numbers and continuous for large ones. whether channels are treated stochastically or continuously p.getThreshold()) { if (belowThreshold) { belowThreshold = false; send_spike(); } else { belowThreshold = true; } } } ]]>
