Hello,

I hope everyone is well. 

I am working on replicating some results from Teremae et al 2012 and have run into an area of uncertainty. The paper calls for there to be a synaptic weight-dependent failure rate of synaptic transmission:

Is there any way to implement this in Nest? If it would help, I am working on a custom neuron model built in Nestml. I can also write some C++ if it seems that there would be an easy way to add this functionality with a short function. Alternatively, are there canonical ways to alter network structure to account for such a failure rate if it cannot be implemented in Nest? 

Thank you and best wishes,

Josh Stern
