ConceptNeuron
Related: SoftwareNeuron, SoftwareNeuronEngine
Function; primary
- Emitting a spike.
- Can be measured as a voltage pulse.
- This occurs when the internal charge exceeds a threshold.
- Brain Simulator: The way it “decides” to emit a spike depends on the ConceptNeuronModel.

ESPS (Excitatory postsynaptic potential)
// The time a neuron takes to get back to its resting potential after (starting to) spike / entering hyperpolarization: ~4 ms.
This means that the maximum firing rate of a neuron is about once every 4 ms or 250 Hz.
During the refractory period, incoming signals are essentially ignored.
