Interconnectivity

Describes a connection between two cells, defined by source and destination end points (that is pre-synaptic and post-synaptic respectively), a connection weight and a delay time.

An example of a connection reads as follows:

import arbor

# construct a connection between cells (0,0) and (1,0) with weight 0.01 and delay of 10 ms.
src  = arbor.cell_member(0,0)
dest = arbor.cell_member(1,0)
w    = 0.01
d    = 10
con  = arbor.connection(src, dest, w, d)

Describes a gap junction between two gap junction sites. Gap junction sites are represented by :class:`arbor.cell_member`.

A spike detector, generates a spike when voltage crosses a threshold. Can be used as source endpoint for an :ref:`arbor.connection`.
