permissible_values:
  continuous:
    text: continuous
    description: Triggered when condition function crosses zero (root-finding). Maps
      to ContinuousCallback / ContinuousComponentCallback.
  discrete:
    text: discrete
    description: Triggered when condition function returns true (checked at each step).
      Maps to DiscreteCallback / DiscreteComponentCallback.
  preset_time:
    text: preset_time
    description: Triggered at predetermined time points. Maps to PresetTimeCallback
      / PresetTimeComponentCallback.
  stimulus:
    text: stimulus
    description: Continuous time-dependent input signal (e.g., external current).
      Legacy Stimulus behavior.
  stimulation:
    text: stimulation
    description: Synonym of 'stimulus' — a continuous time-dependent input signal
      injected into a target state variable across target regions. The codegen treats
      'stimulation' and 'stimulus' identically.
