Detailed Description

template<class SynType, class IntType = LowPassExpEuler>
class Synapse< SynType, IntType >

A class to represent the overall effect of a large number of synapses of a particular type, which is modeled by a simple first order differential:

dg/dt = -g/tau + I, where tau is the decay constant in milliseconds, I is the number of spikes received and g is the conductance in millisiemens.

The first template argument should be a functor that descibes the synapses current-voltage relationship.Several suitable functors for standard channel types are defined in class Receptor, given above. The second template paramter should be the integration method as descibed in LowPass.H. ######################################################################
