Parameters
----------

The presynaptic section that is monitored for spikes. The voltage
in this section is monitored to trigger the postsynaptic conductance

spike_source : :obj: `NEURON Section`
Overrides the pre_sec as the spike source for this terminal.
terminal : :obj: `Synapse Terminal`
The presynaptic Terminal instance
loc : float, default=0.5
Position on the postsynaptic section to insert the mechanism, from [0..1].
