NetStim/ExpSyn
Posted: Mon May 11, 2009 9:33 pm
I am having difficulty understanding exactly how NetStim works. (I've searched this forum for all netstim posts, read the programmer's reference and attempted to understand the source code, but I'm still lacking clarity. Thank you in advance for humoring my question.)
Netstim generates events that Netcon conducts to a target -- the ExpSyn associated with the cell. How does the ExpSyn NET_RECEIVE change the conductance? Does the state_discontinuity function simply sum the conductance with the weight parameter from NetCon?

Code: Select all
NET_RECEIVE(weight (uS)) {
state_discontinuity(g, g + weight)
}
