This routine creates a (potentially) multisite synapse using a NEURON mod file with:
- A MultiSiteSynapse release mechanism that includes stochastic release, with a lognormal
release latency distribution. The Facilitation and Depression of release are governed
by parameters obtaine from fitting the Dittman-Kreitzer-Regher (DKR) model (J Neurosci. 2000 Feb 15;20(4):1374-85.)
to experimental data at various
frequencies.
- A "cleft" mechanism (models diffusion of transmitter). Note that the cleft is inserted as part of the
presynaptic section, but is not connected to the postsynaptic side yet.
Each release site is stochastically independent, but all sites within a terminal are drive by the
same presynaptic action potentials.
Turning off the depression and facilitation in the kinetic portion of the model substantially decreases
the time the terminal mechanism takes to run.
Parameters
----------
pre_sec : :obj:`section`
The NEURON section where the synaptic mechanisms should be inserted.
target_cell : :obj:`Cell`
The target cell object that the synapse will innervate.
nzones : int
The number of activate zones to insert into the section.
multisite : bool, default: True
A flag that determines whether the terminal actually creates multiple
release zones (True) or just creates a single release zone that
varies its amplitude based on the depression/facilitation state.
message : str
A message to when instantiating (mostly for verification of code flow).
type: str (default: 'lognormal')
'lognormal' sets the release event latency distribution to use a lognormal function. Currently,
no other function is supported.
identifier : int (default: 0)
An identifier to associate with these release sites so we can find them later.
stochastic_pars : dict (default: None)
A dictionary of parameters (Param class) used to specifiy the stochastic behavior of this site,
including release latency, stdev, and lognormal distribution paramaters
calcium_pars : dict (default: None)
A dictionary of parameters (Param class) to determine the calcium channels in this section.
If None, then no calcium channels are inserted; otherwise, a P-type calcium conductance and a dynamic
mechanism are inserted, and their conductance is set.
delay : float (default: 0)
Delay time in msec from action potential until transmitter release for this terminal.
debug : bool (default: False)
Flag to print stuff out while debugging.
spike_source : :obj:`section` (default: None)
The input spike source to use in net con - default is to use pre_sec when set to None.
dep_flag : int (default: 1)
Set to 1 for depression mechanism (slows computation), 0 to turn off the depression calculations
Returns
-------
list
the list contains the terminal, the relsites, and the list of cleft mechanisms:
- terminal: this is the pointer to the terminal section that was inserted (same as pre_sec if it was
specified)
- relsite: a list of the nzones release sites that were created
- cleft: a list of the nzones cleft mechanisms that were created.
