Hi Maryada,
To get the node information you unfortunately have to convert to NodeCollection:
import nest
nest.ResetKernel()
E = nest.Create('aeif_cond_exp',2)
I = nest.Create('aeif_cond_exp',2)
nest.Connect(E,I)
for c in nest.GetConnections():
print(c,c.source)
print(nest.NodeCollection([c.source]).get()) # information about the node
print(c.get()) # information about the connection
You raise an interesting point though, we have iterators for the sources and targets
(nest.GetConnections().sources() / nest.GetConnections().targets()) that returns an
iterator that iterates over the source and target node ids. Thinking about it now, these
iterators should probably return a NodeCollection instead. Then, it would be easy to
inspect the source and target nodes. The node id's can still be extracted with
nest.GetConnections().source as you have said. I have created an issue on this where we
can discuss further: https://github.com/nest/nest-simulator/issues/2204.
Best wishes,
Stine

Subject: [NEST Users] Re: Get details of source and target from Connection list
Hi Stine,
This is exactly what I am trying to do, see the code below
import nest
nest.ResetKernel()
E = nest.Create('aeif_cond_exp',2)
I = nest.Create('aeif_cond_exp',2)
nest.Connect(E,I)
for c in nest.GetConnections():
print(c,c.source)
print(nest.GetStatus(c.source))
I just thought it would be an unnecessary step to then convert c.source to a
NodeCollection unless that is the only right way of getting the information of source
node.

Dear Maryada,
Unfortunately, I was not able to open your attachment, so I could not have a look at your
code. It is possible to convert a neuron id to a NodeCollection and then get the
information by calling
nc = nest.NodeCollection([neuron_id])
nc.get()
nest.GetStatus(nc) also works. Instead of the single neuron id in the list, you could also
send several neuron id's.
This will not get you any information about the connections however. If this is what you
are after, you need to get the SynapseCollection by calling nest.GetConnections(), and
then either iterating the SynapseCollection and get the information for the individual
connection or get the information for the entire connection.
Hope this helps!
Best wishes,
Stine

Subject: [NEST Users] Get details of source and target from Connection list
Dear NEST users,
In the past version, for debugging purposes I used to get information of my source and
target using the GetStatus function.
However, with NEST 3.0, I couldn't find a way to do so, mainly because I have to pass
either a SynpaseCollection or NeuronCollection as a function argument to GetStatus. Is it
possible to fetch node collection from neuron id? Or any easier way to get source and
target properties.
I referred document at link
https://nest-simulator.readthedocs.io/en/v3.1/guides/connection_management.…
I have attached the python file for the same.
