Detailed Description

Implements triplet STDP with metaplasticity as described by Pfister and Gerstner 2006.

This is the connection used for most simulations in Zenke et al. 2013 to simulate large plastic recurrent networks with homeostatic triplet STDP. Time timescale of the moving average used for the homeostatic change of the LTD rate is given by tau.
