We present an electrophysiological model of double bouquet cells (DBCs) and integrate them into an established cortical columnar microcircuit model that implements a BCPNN (Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network) learning rule. The proposed architecture effectively solves the problem of duplexed learning of inhibition and excitation by replacing recurrent inhibition between pyramidal cells in functional columns of different stimulus selectivity with a plastic disynaptic pathway. The introduction of DBCs improves the biological plausibility of our model, without affecting the model's spiking activity, basic operation, and learning abilities.

      Name: StepPatternConnect - Connect sources and targets with a stepping pattern
      
      Synopsis:
      [sources] source_step [targets] target_step synmod StepPatternConnect -> n_connections
      
      Parameters:
      [sources]     - Array containing GIDs of potential source neurons
      source_step   - Make connection from every source_step'th neuron
      [targets]     - Array containing GIDs of potential target neurons
      target_step   - Make connection to every target_step'th neuron
      synmod        - The synapse model to use (literal, must be key in synapsedict)
      n_connections - Number of connections made
      
      Description:
      This function subsamples the source and target arrays given with steps
      source_step and target_step, beginning with the first element in each array,
      and connects the selected nodes.
      
      Example:
      /first_src 0 /network_size get def
      /last_src /iaf_neuron 20 Create def  % nodes  1 .. 20
      /src [first_src last_src] Range def
      /last_tgt /iaf_neuron 10 Create def  % nodes 21 .. 30
      /tgt [last_src 1 add last_tgt] Range def
      
      src 6 tgt 4 /drop_odd_spike StepPatternConnect 
  
      This connects nodes [1, 7, 13, 19] as sources to nodes [21, 25,
      29] as targets using synapses of type drop_odd_spike, and
      returning 12 as the number of connections.  The following
      command will print the connections (you must paste the SLI
      command as one long line):

      src { /s Set << /source s /synapse_type /static_synapse >> FindConnections { GetStatus /target get } Map dup length 0 gt { cout s <- ( -> ) <- exch <-- endl } if ; } forall
      1 -> [21 25 29]
      7 -> [21 25 29]
      13 -> [21 25 29]
      19 -> [21 25 29]
      
      Remark:
      This function is only provided as an example for how to write your own 
      interface function.
