Struct QuantalRelease 

pub struct QuantalRelease {
    pub n_sites: usize,
    pub release_probability: f64,
    pub quantal_size: f64,
    pub quantal_variance: f64,
}

Quantal release model for vesicle fusion.

Models individual vesicle release events with binomial statistics.

Fields

n_sites: usize

Number of release sites (N).

release_probability: f64

Release probability per site (p).

quantal_size: f64

Quantal size (postsynaptic response per vesicle, pA or mV).

quantal_variance: f64

Variance in quantal size.

Implementations
