  • cell (Cell)

Return type:

SynapseHocArgs

static determine_synapse_type(syn_description)[source]

Returns the type of synapse to be created.

Parameters:

syn_description (Series)

Return type:

SynapseType

static synlocation_to_segx(section, ipt, syn_offset)[source]

Translates a synaptic (secid, ipt, offset) to an x coordinate.

Parameters:

  • section (HocObject) – Section object.
