Stimulation in IntFire1 Network

Hi,

Is there a method to simulate an electrode stimulation for IntFire1 neurons?
I need to emule a current step.
Is the NetStim the only way to stimulate IntFire neurons?

No. Input events from any spike source will do the job. Could be any of the IntFire variants, or a biological model cell monitored by a NetCon.

If all you need is a way to make an IntFire1 fire a burst of spikes, what about driving it with a burst generated by a NetStim?
