Synapses — module specifications

Not yet an instructor-ready handout

This legacy URL now identifies the relevant curriculum specifications and released operational guide. A complete worksheet, validated settings and answer key remain development work.

Two catalogue entries form the intended starting sequence:

• SYN-01 — From presynaptic event to postsynaptic current
• SYN-02 — Excitation, inhibition and signed gain

Together they progress from event transmission to controlled comparison of functional excitation and inhibition.

Available supporting material

• Synapses and inputs practical
• Two-unit network practical
• Controls and I/O
• Recording and export

Spikeling's synaptic weight is a signed scalar applied to an event-driven current trace. It does not establish neurotransmitter identity, receptor type, reversal potential, release probability or short-term plasticity.
