Tutorials

Writing neuron models

• Izhikevich tutorial

  Learn how to write the Izhikevich spiking neuron model in NESTML.

• Active dendrite tutorial

  Learn how to model a dendritic action potential in an existing NESTML neuron.

• Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise

  Implement the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process in NESTML and use it to inject a noise current into a neuron.

Writing synapse models

• STDP windows

  An STDP window describes how the strength of the synapse changes as a function of the relative timing of pre- and postsynaptic spikes. Several different STDP model variants with different window functions are implemented.

• Triplet STDP synapse

  A triplet STDP rule is sensitive to third-order correlations of pre- and postsynaptic spike times, and accounts better for experimentally seen dependence on timing and frequency.
