Whether to replace non-simulated areas by Poisson sources with the same global rate rate_ext ('hom_poisson_stat') or by specific rates ('het_poisson_stat') or by time-varying specific current ('het_current_nonstat'). In the two latter cases, the data to replace the cortico-cortical input is loaded from `replace_cc_input_source`\n",
