Dear Maryada,
Thanks for writing in. Which neuron model are you using? From a simple test scrip with the "iaf_psc_exp" model, I am getting a nonzero calcium concentration:
import nest
n = nest.Create("iaf_psc_exp")
nest.Simulate(100)
n.get("Ca")
Yields 0.014928834091366892. The "beta_Ca" parameter can be used to tweak the increment upon each postsynaptic spike, and "tau_Ca" is the decay constant.
I am of course happy to work with you to set up a custom NESTML model if you need additional or different features to keep track of calcium concentration.
With kind regards,
Charl
Dear NEST Users,
I would like to "record" or read calcium concentration of the neurons (let's say aeif_cond_exp). For now Ca variable is 0 before and after I simulate, however the neuron spikes.
Is there any neuron model that supports this, or do I need to edit the nestml of the desired model to achieve this.
If so, a sample code snippet would be helpful.
