A population density approach that facilitates slow inhibitory synapses

A previously developed method for efficiently simulating complex networks of integrate-andfire neurons was specialized to the case in which the neurons have fast unitary postsynaptic conductances. However, inhibitory synaptic conductances are often slower than excitatory for cortical neurons, and th ...
