Customize

The customize command allows properties of a specific cell to be modified.

Examples:

• Delete all synapses where the specified pre-synaptic unit is involved in a synaptic interaction as index 0 and where the post-syn unit is in the specified layer:

  <customize>
       type        synapse_delete         # Delete synapses between units
       unit_pre    exs_11_11_0            # Pre-synaptic unit
       layer_post  ds                     # Post-synaptic layer name
       si_index    0                      # Synaptic interaction index
  </customize>
  

• Adjust all synapses between the specified pre-synaptic unit and the post-synaptic layer. Currently, if there is a synaptic interaction, the weight only gets adjusted if the pre-syn unit has cell index 0:

  <customize>
      type        synapse_adjust         # Adjust synaptic weight
      unit_pre    exs_11_11_0            # Pre-synaptic unit
      layer_post  ds                     # Post-synaptic layer name
      syn_weight  6.23                   # Synaptic weight
  </customize>
  

• Add a synapse between the specified pre-synaptic unit and the post-synaptic unit (layers not impl’d yet):

  <customize>
      type        synapse_add            # Add a synapse
      unit_pre    exs_11_11_0            # Pre-synaptic unit
      unit_post   ds_0_0_0               # Post-synaptic unit
      syn_weight  6.23                   # Synaptic weight
      syn_tdelay  0.0                    # Time delay (s), axon transit time
      syn_type    1                      # Synaptic type, 1-ex, 2-in
  </customize>
