Free C++ source code for the firing rate neuron model is available.

Tonic Neuron Description

Figure 1. The properties of the tonic neuron.

The only difference between the tonic neuron and the normal neuron is that you can specify a constant intrinsic current that will be injected into the tonic neuron to make it fire tonically.

The tonic neuron has all of the properties associated with a regular neuron: Cm, Gm, Vth, Fmin, and Gain. For a description of them please see the text that discusses the normal neuron. The properties that are unique for the pacemaker are listed below with a description of each.
