Cells

Cell identifiers and indexes

The types defined below are used as identifiers for cells and members of cell-local collections.

An example of a cell member construction reads as follows:

import arbor

# construct
cmem = arbor.cell_member(0, 0)

# set gid and index
cmem.gid = 1
cmem.index = 42

Enumeration used to identify the cell kind, used by the model to group equal kinds in the same cell group.

An example for setting the cell kind reads as follows:

import arbor

kind = arbor.cell_kind.cable

Cell kinds

A spike source cell, that generates a user-defined sequence of spikes that act as inputs for other cells in the network.
