Synapse.activate_hoc_syn¶

single_cell_parser.synapse.Synapse.activate_hoc_syn(source, preCell, targetCell, receptors)¶

Setup of all necessary hoc connections.

Stores all mechanisms and NetCons for reference counting.

Parameters:¶

• source (single_cell_parser.cell.PointCell) – Presynaptic cell whose single_cell_parser.cell.PointCell.spikes attribute is used as source in NEURON’s NetCon object. Note that in the context of a synapse, spikes means release times, which is not necessarily the same as the presynaptic spike times.

• preCell (single_cell_parser.cell.PointCell) – Presynaptic cell.

• targetCell (single_cell_parser.cell.Cell) – Postsynaptic cell.

• receptors (dict | Dict[NTParameterSet]) – Dictionary or NTParameterSet of receptors. Each individual receptor in this collection must be of the type NTParameterSet.
