Inhibitory synapse. Medical search. Frequent questions

I am trying to use inhibitory and excitatory neurons for my neuron model, but I haven't found a way to specify if neurons are excitatory or inhibitory. (discourse.group)
https://brian2.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/frompapers.Stimberg_et_al_2018.example_1_COBA.html , where different synaptic conductances and neurotransmitters were used in order to tell the difference between the neurons. (discourse.group)
Is this the only way of specifying inhibitory and excitatory neurons in Brian2, or are there other ways? (discourse.group)
E.g. in a very simple integrate-and-fire model like the CUBA example , both types of neurons are modeled in the same way and the only difference between the synapses is their sign. (discourse.group)
And of course there are many intermediate solutions, e.g. for relatively abstract integrate-and-fire models the most common way to model the difference between excitatory and inhibitory neurons is to simply give the inhibitory neurons a shorter time constant, and similarly you can get a crude approximation of different neurotransmitters by changing the time constant of your synapses. (discourse.group)
