Detailed Description

used for fine-grained control over spike generation, using a callback mechanism

The user can choose from a set of primitive pre-defined connection topologies, or he can implement a topology of their choice by using a callback mechanism. In the callback mechanism, the simulator calls a method on a user-defined class in order to determine whether a connection should be made or not. The user simply needs to define a method that specifies whether a connection should be made between a pre-synaptic neuron and a post-synaptic neuron, and the simulator will automatically call the method for all possible pre- and post-synaptic pairs. The user can then specify the connection's delay, initial weight, maximum weight, and whether or not it is plastic.

specifies which synaptic connections (per group, per neuron, per synapse) should be made

Attention

The virtual method should never be called directly
