Default value: False
Acceptable Values: True/False.

Current
The current that will be injected into the neuron during the stimulus period. It is up to the user to supply biologically realistic values.
Default value: 10 nA
Acceptable range: Any value.

Enabled
Determines if this stimulus is applied or not. If this is false then the stimulus is ignored. If it is true then it is applied.
Default value: True
Acceptable Values: True/False.

End Time
This is the time when the stimulus is stopped.
Default value: 10 s
Acceptable Values: Any value greater than the Start Time.

Name
The name of the stimulus.
Default value: Stimulus_?
Acceptable Values: Any string.

Node
A read-only property that tells which neuron the current will be injected into.

Organism
A read-only property that tells which organism the selected neuron is contained within.

Start Time
This is the time when the stimulus will start.
Default value: 0 s
Acceptable Values: Any value less than the End Time and greater than or equal 0.
