vlt.neuro.models.synapses.depression_model_comp-Computes synaptic currents for Varela depression model
SYNCURRS = vlt.neuro.models.synapses.depression_model_comp(SPIKETIMES,A0,F,FTAU,D,DTAU)
Computes synaptic currents for a facilitating and/or depressing synapse.
Presynaptic spike times are given in SPIKETIMES, and the unfacilitated,
undepressed amplitude of the synapse is A0.
Synaptic currents are modeled as A = A0*F1*...*FN*D1*...*DN,
where F1...FN are facilitating factors and D1...DN are depressing
factors.
After each presynaptic spike, Fi -> Fi + fi, where fi is a positive
number, and Fi decays back to 1 with time constant fitau.
Input argument F is an array containing fi, and the length of F determines
the number of facilitating factors (use empty for none). FTAU is an array
of the same length of F and contains the time constants fitau.
After each presynaptic spike, Di -> Di * di, where 0 < di <= 1, and Di
decays back to 1 with time constant ditau. Input argument D is an array
containing di, and the length of D determines the number of facilitating
factors (use empty for none). DTAU is an array of the same length of D
and contains the time constants ditau.
