class netpyne.cell.pointCell.PointCell(gid, tags, create=True, associateGid=True)

Bases: Cell

Class used when the cellModel value is of a NEURON point process (i.e. ‘NetStim’, ‘DynamicNetStim’, ‘VecStim’, ‘IntFire1’, ‘IntFire2’, ‘IntFire4’ – see netpyne/network/pop.py). Arguments are passed via the params dictionary. A ‘spikePattern’ dictionary may be used to further specify patterns for the cellModel ‘VecStim’, (i.e. specifying ‘type’ entry as ‘rhythmic’, ‘evoked’, ‘poisson’, or ‘gauss’ – see netpyne/cell/inputs.py)

Point Neuron that doesn’t use v from Section eg. NetStim, IntFire1,
