[NEST Users] Re: Network simulation of Hanuschkin (2010) - precise spike times

Hello Prof. Ekkehard,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I have tried two approaches: - Firstly, I have replaced the iaf_psc_delta neuron with the iaf_psc_exp_ps and I get an average firing rate of ~47Hz, which doesn't match the 10Hz that is mentioned in Hanuschkin (2010) (section 2.3.2). - Then, I noticed that the neuron_params in the Brunel network do not match the parameters of iaf_psc_exp_ps (Hanuschkin(2010) section 2.1.1). So, tried to simulate the network with the default parameters of iaf_psc_exp_ps and there I get 0 Hz. I have also tried increasing J but it doesn't change anything on the firing rate.

Would you have any further suggestions? Or is there any example of the Hanuschkin network available?

Best regards, Evgenia
