Hi,
This is not addressing your actual question, but I just wanted to check whether you know about NESTML for writing custom neuron models (
https://nestml.readthedocs.org/) and whether there were any reasons you might prefer to write the model "by hand" in C++ (there certainly might be! Just curious.)
With kind regards,
