Interneuron Class

Summary

A biologically accurate, fast-spiking inhibitory interneuron that regulates neural network stability. Implements STDP-based synaptic depression and emits chloride-mediated inhibitory feedback.

Namespace

BioSynapStudio.Net.Modules.Neurons

Assembly

BioSynapStudio.Net.dll

Inheritance

Identity → Membrane → Soma → Neuron → Interneuron

Constructor

Interneuron()

Initializes the neuron with:

• PotassiumChannel (for rapid repolarization)
• ChlorideChannel (for inhibitory GABAergic signaling)
• TraceStdpPlasticity for learning via LTD

---

Methods

Name	Signature	Description
OnSynapseAdded	override void OnSynapseAdded(Synapse synapse)	Attaches trace-based STDP (LTD support) to all added synapses.
OnSpike	override bool OnSpike()	Sends a negative inhibitory spike (-1.0) and applies LTD via OnPostSynapticSpike() to all connected synapses.

---

Remarks

• Chloride Channel (Cl⁻) simulates inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs).
• Potassium Channel (K⁺) enables quick reset after firing (fast-spiking profile).
• STDP Trace Mechanism enables long-term depression (LTD) to suppress overexcitation in target neurons.
• Interneurons are essential for network balance, rhythmic control, and sensory gating.

Usage Example

var inhibitory = new Interneuron();
var synapse = new Synapse();
inhibitory.Add(synapse); // STDP attached
inhibitory.ReceiveSignal(-30);
inhibitory.Tick(); // Fires and applies LTD
