Started working on Synapses
similar to NeuronGroup
as this also
derives from Groups
class and has some similar things, like model equations. With Brian, Synapses
is
the thing, that I don’t anything about (also don’t know much about real synapses in Brain). But the documentation for
Synapses in Brian docs was really
helpful. To understand clearly how Synapses
work, I took a clean white sheet and my machine and
worked on all the examples mentioned in the docs. That really helped to understand the Synapses
and
helped to start working on that.
By end of the week, I would able to get done with half the work of Synapses
and got a rough
idea on remaining parts like SynapticPathway
s and Synapses.connect()
. In this period, I had lot of doubts and,
as usual got clarified and cleared things by no other than my mentor Marcel Stimberg.
