Short-Term Synaptic Plasticity (NEURON and BMTK)

The bulk of the work is done by exp2syn_stsp.mod

The network simply creates a virtual cell and connects it to a single target cell via Exp2Syn_STSP synapse. Parameters are found in the associated stsp.json file. Edit this file to adjust the effects of Facilitation and Depression (strength/tau)

To run the network:

Edit the firing rate in gen_input.py

python gen_input.py
python build_network.py
python run_bionet.py
python plot_test.py

The following plots were generated by this network to show synaptic depression. Current that passes through the synapse changes in response to different input frequencies. Higher input rates have a stronger effect on output.
