public abstract class AbstractMotorNeuron
extends ConnectableNeuron
implements MotorNeuron

Abstract class for a motor (output) neuron. Note that a motor neuron acts similarly to a muscle cell; i.e., it does not set an axon and instead acts directly on its environment by passing an MotorOutputEvent. This is based on the idea that most nerve-muscle junctions are highly robust. If a more realistic model is desired (i.e., one that models this junction explicitly), the setAxon method must be overridden by the subclass; otherwise an attempt to set the axon will throw a NeuroException

setAxon

public void setAxon(AbstractAxon a)
             throws NeuroException

Throws:

NeuroException

getSubComponents

public java.util.ArrayList<DynamicModelComponent> getSubComponents()

Description copied from class: AbstractNeuroComponent

Returns a list of the complete subcomponent tree. Subclasses containing subcomponents should override this and provide an enumeration of all subcomponents, also calling this method for each subcomponent to ensure a complete tree is returned.

Specified by:

getSubComponents in interface DynamicModelComponent

Overrides:

getSubComponents in class AbstractNeuron

setEnvironment

public void setEnvironment(DynamicModelEnvironment e)

getEnvironment

public DynamicModelEnvironment getEnvironment()

fireOutputEvent

protected void fireOutputEvent(DynamicModelOutputEvent e)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractNeuron
