bluepyopt.ephys.mechanisms

Mechanism classes

Theses classes represent mechanisms in the model

class bluepyopt.ephys.mechanisms.Mechanism(name='', comment='')

Bases: bluepyopt.ephys.base.BaseEPhys

Base parameter class

class bluepyopt.ephys.mechanisms.NrnMODMechanism(name, mod_path=None, suffix=None, locations=None, preloaded=True, deterministic=True, prefix=None, comment='')

Bases: bluepyopt.ephys.mechanisms.Mechanism, bluepyopt.ephys.serializer.DictMixin

Neuron mechanism

Constructor

Parameters:

• name (str) – name of this object
• mod_path (str) – path to the MOD file (not used for the moment)
• suffix (str) – suffix of this mechanism in the MOD file
• locations (list of Locations) – a list of Location objects pointing to where this mechanism should be added to.
• preloaded (bool) – should this mechanism be side-loaded by BluePyOpt, or was it already loaded and compiled by the user ? (not used for the moment)
• prefix (str) – Deprecated. Use suffix instead.

destroy(sim=None)

Destroy mechanism instantiation

generate_reinitrng_hoc_block()

“Create re_init_rng code blocks for this channel

static hash_hoc(string, sim)

Calculate hash value of string in Python

static hash_py(string)

instantiate(sim=None, icell=None)

Instantiate

instantiate_determinism(deterministic, icell, isec, sim)

prefix

Deprecated, prefix is now replaced by suffix
