We're going to use the IF_curr_exp model, where "IF" is for integrate-and-fire, "curr" means that synaptic responses are changes in current, and "exp" means that the shape of the current is a decaying exponential function. 86 86 87 -This is where we set the parameters of the model: the resting membrane potential is -65 millivolts, the spike threshold is -55 millivolts, the reset voltage after a spike is again -65 millivolts, the refractory period after a spike is one millisecond, the membrane time constant is 10 milliseconds, and the membrane capacitance is 1 nanofarad. We're also going to inject a constant bias current of 1.1 nanoamps into these neurons, so that we get some action potentials.87 +This is where we set the parameters of the model: the resting membrane potential is -65 millivolts, the spike threshold is -55 millivolts, the reset voltage after a spike is again -65 millivolts, the refractory period after a spike is one millisecond, the membrane time constant is 10 milliseconds, and the membrane capacitance is 1 nanofarad.
