Description of problem I defined a 2-dimensional synaptic connection matrix M, and using the Synapses() function. I define on_pre=’ g_ampa = M[ i_pre, i_post ] 0.3nS ', but it reports an error, it looks like I can’t call the value of the matrix in on_pre? Does anyone have a solution to this problem? …

Ok, I see. I think you basically have two options: either store three weight variables in a single Synapses object, or use a separate Synapses object for each dendrite. The first approach is the easiest and most efficient if you use all-to-all connections (in particular, each pre-synaptic neuron ta…

The method mentioned here will likely be useful for you: [image] Using custom synaptic weight matrix Support Hi @pshah95 . Unfortunately we only mention the other direction (getting a weight matrix out of Brian’s internal structure) in the documentation, but if you have a …

The difference is that I need to index the array in on_pre=’ ‘, for example on_pre=’ g_ampa = M[i_pre] *0.3nS ‘. I have tried on_pre=’ g_ampa = i_pre *0.3nS ’ which works, but can not index arrays or matrices, what I need is this.

Hi @zeroinput . You do not need matrix indexing in your case. Brian’s equation system describes everything from a the perspective of a single neuron or single synapse. In your case, you want each synapse to have its own weight and the synapse does only need access to its own weight, not the full ma…

Hi Marcel, Thanks for your replies! I did this because I wanted to add dendrites to the neurons (say with 3 dendrites), so I defined the (100, 100*3) matrix to correspond to the connections to the synapses. I need to index the number of different dendrites at on_pre and provide them to g_ampa1,g_a…

Hi again. Just to make sure that I understand, can you give a bit more detail on how you are adding dendrites to the neurons? Do you do this as part of the equations, e.g. by having dv_dend1/dt = ..., dv_dend2/dt = ..., etc. terms? Marcel

For example: dv/dt=(-(v-El) -(g_1ampa*v) -(g_2ampa*v) )/taum : volt dg_1ampa/dt = ... dg_2gaba/dt = ...

Thanks, you saved my day! :smiley:

Looks like I can't call the value of the matrix in 'on_pre'
