This is the readme for the models associated with the paper Talathi SS, Hwang DU, Ditto WL (2008) Spike timing dependent plasticity promotes synchrony of inhibitory networks in the presence of heterogeneity. J Comput Neurosci 25:262-81 Usage: The Main Code is ./C++HH/Codes/InhibLearning/Test_Slow_Syn.cc The accompanying make file Make_Inhib_Slow.f will allow to compile the code to generate the executable run_slow_compute. Example runs are provided in the perlscript TestRun.pl which generates the data files, used to produce the two sample figures Learning.pdf and NoLearning.pdf Compile the make file on terminal through commannd $ make -f Make_Inhib_Slow.f It will generate the executable run_slow_compute Run the perl script TestRun.pl. It will generate two data files BiDirecLearn.dat and BiDirecNoLearn.dat The voltage trace of the two neurons is the 2nd and 3rd column of these dat files. The Figures Learning.pdf and NoLearning.pdf represent the plotted Figures from the data files above. -Sachin S Talathi
