Inhibitory synapses synapses. Medical search. Frequent questions

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.
