Model overview¶

Vogels et al 2011 provides an extension of the model described in Vogels and Abbott 2005 mainly in order to evaluate the role of inhibitory synapse plasticity in recovering an asynchronous network state after a manifestation of some memory pattern (i.e., highly correlated activity of some neuron group).

Downloading and running a simulation¶

Install PyNN. Make sure to use the latest v0.8 version from GitHub, which includes the required Vogels2011Rule synapse. Note: NEURON is the only supported simulator for this model at the moment. As they showed …

Install Git and type:

> git clone https://github.com/OpenSourceBrain/VogelsEtAl2011.git

> cd VogelsEtAl2011/PyNN

To run a simulation type:

> python vogelsEtAl2011.py neuron
