Neuron



Neurons are network objects (nobs) represented by a circle that has a bulge at one point. Neurons have at least one incoming pipe and they have exactly one outgoing pipe, the axon. The axon originates from the bulge, the so-called Axon hillock. Incoming pipes belong to dendrites that emanate from other neurons.

If the axon of a neuron is deleted, it automatically turns into an output neuron. If all incoming pipes of a neuron are deleted, it automatically turns into an input neuron.

The dynamic beviour of neurons is determined by the potential progression in incomming connections and the triggering threshold which is identical for all neurons in the model. On every clock (currently 100 microseconds model time) the potentials of all incoming dendrites are summed up and compared to the triggering threshold. If the threshold is succeeded, the neuron "fires". An impulse with the amplitude „peak voltage“ is triggered and flows through the axon.
