[NEST Users] Re: GetConnections is too slow- can i obtain connection ids as I connect the neurons? (nest v2.20)

Thank you for the reply. I will attempt to migrate to 3.5 and see if it works faster. i know for a fact that i can benefit from the collocated synapse class to draw both ampa and nmda connections between the same neurons. but can you elaborate a bit on the last thing you mentioned: "Depending on what kind of "manual" manipulation of synaptic weights you need to do, it might even be possible to include this in connection creation, so you can avoid GetConnections() altogether." the scenario: i initially draw non specific recurrent connections within the global neuron population using a connection probability. The network is organized in hypercolumns that contain minicolumns. Knowing the minicolumn index of the pre and post populations i want to upregulate the weight. Can that be done without a call to getconnections? Thank you for your time Angeliki
