Detailed Description

Firing Rate Neuron model.

This Neuron implements a firing rate neural model. The firing rate model is a more abstract representation of the neuron than an integrate and fire system. This type of model assumes that there is a linear relationship between cell depolarization and firing rate. After the neuron has depolarized beyond its threshold its firing rate increases linearly between 0 and 1 relative to the membrane potential and a gain value. Synapses inject current into post-synaptic neurons based on the firing rate. The synaptic weight is the amount of current to inject, and this is multiplied by the firing rate of the pre-synaptic neuron. this model also has modulatory and gated synapses.
Another feature of this model is that there are a few different types of neruons. These primarily differ based on how they implement intrinsic currents. Intrinsic currents are currents that are internal to the neuron. An exmample of this is the pacemaker neuron that generates currents internally to model bursting behavior.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void FiringRateSim::Neurons::Neuron::AddExternalNodeInput	(	int	iTargetDataType,
		float	fltInput
	)

virtual

Adds an external node input.

This is used by the adapter to add a new external value to this node. It is up to the node to interpret what that value means. For example, if it is a neuron then it can interpret it to be a current. This value is added to the current total so that multiple adapters can call this in a given time step. It is cleared out to zero at the beginning of the time step. You can now also specify which data you are adding to for this method call. This allows adapters to be setup to change multiple different variables in the system.

Parameters

iTargetDataType	The index of the target data type we are adding to.
fltInput	The new input.

Implements AnimatSim::Node.

		const std::string &	strXml,
		bool	bThrowError = `true`,
		bool	bDoNotInit = `false`
	)

virtual

Adds a new object to this parent.

Generic method to add a new child item to this parent by specifying a string item type descriptor and an xml packet that can be used to load in the new object. The GUI uses this method to create new items that were added with the user interface. The item type lets the method determine what type of item is being created, like synapse, neuron, body part, etc.. It then gets the modulename, classname, and type from the xml and calls CreateObject to create the appropriate type of object. Then it passes in the xml packet to the new objects load method and does any needed initialization and adds it to the parent.

Author: dcofer

Date: 2/22/2011

Parameters

strItemType	String descriptor of the type of item that is being created.
strXml	XML packet that is used to create and load the new item.
bThrowError	If true then throw an error if there is a problem, otherwise return false.

Returns: true if it succeeds, false if it fails.

Sometimes the user may want to capture a snapshot of the simulation at a given point in time, and then be able to go back to that specific point. To do this we grab a snapshot of all the data in the system, including the neural variables. We essentially serialize the data into a binary format for later re-use. This method calculates the number of bytes that will be required to store the entire object.

float * FiringRateSim::Neurons::Neuron::GetDataPointer ( const std::string & strDataType )

virtual

Returns a float pointer to a data item of interest in this object.

This is a generic method used to get a pointer to data variable of interest. It is used by a variety of systems in the simulation. The most prominent are the data charting and stimulus classes. Within this method we associate a variable with a string name. By passing in the name of the data type we are interested in we can recieve back a float pointer to that data type. We can use that to read or set the data item in other classes. For example, the data charting system gets the pointer and then each time it needs to log a data point it reads the value into an array.

Parameters

strDataType name of the data item for which we are looking.

Returns: float pointer of the data item. If not found then it throws an exception.

Exceptions

If	DataType is not found.

Initializes this object.

After an object is loaded in it must be initialized before it can be used. This allows the object to retrieve any pointers or setup memory that it will need during execution. Each object is responsible for initializing any of its child objects, so you simply need to call this method on the containing class to init all child objects. It also calls VerifySystemPointers to make sure that the system pointers have been setup correctly.

virtual

Set a variable based on a string data type name.

This is a generic method that can be used to set any variable in an AnimatBase object by specifying the name of the variable and a string representation of that data. The GUI uses this method to set data into variables in the simulation when the user changes them in the UI. The value string can be as simple as a float or int, or as complex as an xml packet. It is the developers responsibilty to know what type of data is needed and to process it accordingly.

Author: dcofer

Date: 2/22/2011

Parameters

strDataType	string name of the data type to set.
strValue	The string value of the data. It is up to the developer to determine what this should be. For example, in most cases it is simply a float and you just have to convert it to a float and make the appropriate mutator method call. However, it can be any type of string, including an entire xml packet. It is the developers responsibility to know how to set and process the data as required.
bThrowError	true to throw error if there is a problem. If false then it will not return an error, just return false.

Returns: true if it succeeds, false if it fails.

		Structure *	lpStructure,
		NeuralModule *	lpModule,
		Node *	lpNode,
		bool	bVerify
	)

virtual

Sets the system pointers.

There are a number of system pointers that are needed for use in the objects. The primariy one being a pointer to the simulation object itself so that you can get global parameters like the scale units and so on. However, each object may need other types of pointers as well, for example neurons need to have a pointer to their parent structure/organism, and to the NeuralModule they reside within. So different types of objects will need different sets of system pointers. We call this method to set the pointers just after creation and before Load is called. We then call VerifySystemPointers here, during Load and during Initialize in order to ensure that the correct pointers have been set for each type of objects. These pointers can then be safely used throughout the rest of the system.

Author: dcofer

Date: 3/2/2011

Parameters

[in,out]	lpSim	The pointer to a simulation.
[in,out]	lpStructure	The pointer to the parent structure.
[in,out]	lpModule	The pointer to the parent module module.
[in,out]	lpNode	The pointer to the parent node.
	bVerify	true to call VerifySystemPointers.

void FiringRateSim::Neurons::Neuron::StepSimulation ( )

virtual

Step the simulation for this object.

This is called on an object each time it is stepped in the simulation. this is where its simulation code is processed. However, StepSimulation is not necessarily called every single time that the simulation as a whole is stepped. A good example of this is that neural modules can have different integration time steps. So a firing rate module may have a DT of 0.5 ms, while an integrate and fire model may have one of 0.1 ms. So the firing rate module would only get its StepSimulation method called every 5th time that the other module was called. This is all handed in the StepSimulation method of the Simulator and NervousSystem.

void FiringRateSim::Neurons::Neuron::VerifySystemPointers ( )

virtual

Verify that system pointers have been set correctly.

The system pointers should be set just after an object is created. However, if for some reason it was not then this could cause read/write memory access errors later on because we would be using NULL pointers. This method is called during SetSystemPointers, Load, and Initialize to verify that the pointers for that type of object have been set correctly. We are calling three different places to ensure that it is checked before use. For example, if you are doing a Load call then you want to check it before attempting the load, but there may be an object that does not Load, but only does Initialize. So we need to check it there as well.
