List of all members.

Public Methods
	tneuron_base (std::string iname="")
	Construct a neuron with the name iname.
const std::string &	getName () const
	Returns the name of this neuron.
virtual void	pulseArrive (tscheduler &scheduler, ntime_t current_time, real pulse_level)=0
virtual void	addSynapse (tsynapse_base *)
	Add a synapse input (this neuron becomes postsynaptic). A derived class should redefine this method.
virtual real	getCurrentSigLevel (ntime_t)
	This function probes the current signal level of the neuron. A derived class should redefine this method.
virtual real	getCurrentThrLevel (ntime_t)
	This function probes the current threshold level of the neuron. A derived class should redefine this method.
virtual real	getCurrentExtInput (ntime_t)
	This function probes the current external input level of the neuron. A derived class should redefine this method.
virtual ntime_t	getLastFire () const
	This function returns the last time that the neuron fired. Used in STDP and such.
virtual ntime_t	getLastSimulate () const
	This function returns the last time that the neuron has been simulated.
virtual int	getLastSimulateType () const
	This function returns the type of the last simulation (0th/1st/2nd and so on).
virtual tqueue *	queue () const
	Obtains the pointer to the queue object of this neuron.
virtual const char *	getClassName () const
	Obtains the class name of this neuron.
Protected Attributes
std::string	name
	The name of this neuron. Used in debugging and logging.
tqueue	_queue
	The event queue of this neuron.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void punnets_common::tneuron_base::pulseArrive (  tscheduler &    scheduler, ntime_t    current_time, real    pulse_level )  [pure virtual]

These methods handle pulse arrivals of the neuron. The pulse may be a real number (immediate value), message, or a function to be added. The latter two has a default handler that does nothing. A derived class should redefine these methods. Implemented in punnets_private::tneuron< debug >, and punnets_private::tneuron_ext< debug >.
