The code provided is part of a computational neuroscience model designed to simulate neural networks and their dynamics over a communication network using TCP/IP protocols. Here is a description of the biological basis of the code:
Spiking Neurons:
Spike
, InputSpike
, and OutputSpike
refer to these action potentials.Neuronal Dynamics:
Neural Network:
Network
class) contains interconnected neurons (Neuron
class). This structure is akin to biological neural networks, where neurons and their synaptic connections form complex circuits.Event-Driven Simulation:
EventQueue
. This reflects the asynchronous nature of biological neural signaling, where neurons fire and communicate in response to stimuli and synaptic inputs.Synaptic Input and Output:
LoadInputs
) and output (WriteSpike
) mechanisms. Input corresponds to synaptic inputs received by neurons, while output models how neurons send action potentials to other neurons or systems, mimicking synaptic transmission in the brain.TCP/IP Communication:
Spike Transmission and Propagation:
Buffering and Synchronization:
Parallel Processing:
Overall, the code facilitates the simulation of biological neural network dynamics by modeling spike transmission among neurons, reflecting the fundamental operational unit in the nervous system: the spike.
