Hello,
The use of "post-pre" notation when referring to synaptic connections is common practice in computational neuroscience. It does often give rise to some confusion, but it is common, for example, to refer to a synaptic connection from neuron j to neuron i as ij (post<-pre). This is the notation used in this example, where we refer to the connection from inhibitory to excitatory neurons (I->E) as EI (post-pre) and connections from excitatory to inhibitory neurons (E->I) as IE (post-pre). It is just a matter of convention.
Best regards, Renato Duarte

HI,
I may be mistaken, but isn't the EI and IE index switched (https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/stable/auto_examples/plot_weight_ma...) ? a_EI = nest.GetConnections(I_neurons, E_neurons) c_EI = nest.GetStatus(a_EI, keys='weight') a_IE = nest.GetConnections(E_neurons, I_neurons) c_IE = nest.GetStatus(a_IE, keys='weight')
for idx, n in enumerate(a_EI): W_EI[n[0] - min(I_neurons), n[1] - min(E_neurons)] += c_EI[idx] for idx, n in enumerate(a_IE): W_IE[n[0] - min(E_neurons), n[1] - min(I_neurons)] += c_IE[idx]
