Name:

    iaf_cond_exp_sfa_rr - Simple conductance based leaky integrate-and-fire
      neuron model.

Description:

      iaf_cond_exp_sfa_rr is an iaf_cond_exp_sfa_rr i.e. an implementation of a
      spiking neuron using IAF dynamics with conductance-based synapses,
      with additional spike-frequency adaptation and relative refractory
      mechanisms as described in Dayan+Abbott, 2001, page 166.

      As for the iaf_cond_exp_sfa_rr, Incoming spike events induce a post-synaptic
      change  of  conductance  modelled  by an  exponential  function.  The
      exponential function is  normalised such that an event  of weight 1.0
      results in a peak current of 1 nS.

      Outgoing spike events induce a change of the adaptation and relative
      refractory conductances by q_sfa and q_rr, respectively.  Otherwise
      these conductances decay exponentially with time constants tau_sfa
      and tau_rr, respectively.
