Outline

Step 1. Define the types of cells

A. We need a class of cells that can supply afferent spikes.

B. We need a "motoneuron" or "M cell" class.

1. Specifying the anatomical and biophysical properties of the M cell class

2. Specifying what kinds of synapses can be attached to an M cell

3. Placing synapses on the M cell

Step 2. Create each cell in the network

A. We need a Network Builder

B. We need an instance of each of our three cell types.

Step 3. Connect the cells.

A. Network architecture

B. Parameters
