relationship between weight and g_max
relationship between weight and g_max
I'm using ExpSyn and Exp2Syn and would like to set the maximum conductance. Logically, synaptic weight and maximum conductance should be proportional to each other. What is the relationship? Thanks.

Close reading of the documentation

indicates that a unitary input event of weight w produces a peak conductance change of magnitude w (uS). But don't take my word for it--it's never a bad idea to verify a claim by testing with a toy model.
