Hi all,

Happy new year! I have a question about the "stdp_dopamine_synapse" model. In the documentation, they mentioned that they used it as a benchmark the model in [1], based on [2]. In [1], in the section "2.2 Benchmark Network Models", they have C_1 and C_2. They just mentioned these two parameters are constant coefficients. My question is:
Does NEST implement these equations? If yes, how can I find the values of C_1 and C_2? (they are not listed under the nest.GetValues() and are not in the table of the documentation). If not, what is the exact model that the NEST implemented for "stdp_dopamine_synapse"?

Best regards,
Behnam
