[MRG] GUI synaptic gains implementation #918

gtdang · 2024-10-22T18:49:27Z

Added synaptic gains widgets to the GUI.

Changes:

Adjusted Network class methods
2. Renamed update_weights method to set_synaptic_gains for more clarity
3. Added get_synaptic_gains method and test
Added new "Synaptic gains" child tab under the Network tab with widgets for each weight
Updated the _init_network_from_widgets function to update synaptic gains
Added tests for GUI synaptic gains
Corrected spelling error for cell parameters variable

…iguration to align with the tab name.

…unction

…nd updated gui.cell_parameters_widgets calls.

update_weights was too vague.

Did some initial simulation tests using the new tab, and the simulated changes do appear to have the expected effects. Still need to actually review both the code and the tests.

asoplata · 2024-10-22T20:54:24Z

Please see #915 for some discussion on planning this for the GUI.

Also, @dylansdaniels had a great idea: Instead of creating a new Synaptic gains Network tab, we could instead add the values to the top of Connectivity. This way, once we have each individual connection's gain also displayed in the Connectivity tab (currently a TODO), everything for the gains would be in the same location and with less clutter. Additionally, we could also add a button nearby with something like "Apply global synaptic gain changes" which applies a change via one of the four above gains, but then the user can inspect the current, actual value of the gain below on a per-connection basis.

I will try to add the per-connection gain to the Connectivity tab on this branch.

Would that involve a change to the API to set per-connection gain?

asoplata · 2024-10-22T21:19:11Z

I don't think it would need a change to the API, since it should be analogous to changing nc_dict's A_weight value. Related question: is this https://github.com/jonescompneurolab/hnn-core/blob/master/hnn_core/gui/gui.py#L1818-L1819 where the GUI actually applies weight changes from the GUI to the Net object?

asoplata · 2024-10-22T21:26:49Z

Noticed a small bug: Loading in a new network connectivity file adds another full set of the 4 connection gain types:

gtdang · 2024-10-22T21:31:47Z

Yes, but you don't want to be applying the gain and updating the weight there. The nc_dict has a gain parameter. The multiplication should be left to the Network at simulation runtime.

Looks good! Just left tiny nitpicks ... I didn't test though. I am hoping @dylansdaniels or @asoplata took care of that ;)

+    """Returns the indexes of excitatory and inhibitory cells in the network.
+
+    This function extracts the source GIDs (Global Identifiers) of excitatory


"Global Identifiers" isn't too descriptive either ... it's a bit of a misnomer since it's mainly a programming construct. I like to say "cell ID" to be clear.

Suggested change

e_conns = pick_connection(net, receptor=['ampa', 'nmda'])

picks_e = pick_connection(net, receptor=['ampa', 'nmda'])

I like to use e_conn after the indexing, i.e.:

e_conns = [net.connectivity[p] for p in picks_e]

so it's clear from the variable name that one is an element of net.connectivity and the other is simply an index

to be explicit that picks is a list, not a bool

I think using the truthyness of collections is more concise and pythonic. If we really wanted to be explicit we could also name the variable "picks_list".

But I'll open it up to the rest of the group to define a style guide. @ntolley @asoplata @dylansdaniels
