Synapses
--------

The :class:`Synapses` class was introduced in Brian version 1.4 and can be used
to define everything around synaptic interactions. It can replace the
:class:`Connection` class but is much more flexible, in particular it allows to
directly incorporate descriptions of synaptic plasticity.
See section :ref:`usermanual-synapses` in the user manual for
instructions how to use the class.
