Abstract—We discuss the biological plausibility and computational efficiency of some of the most useful models of spiking and bursting neurons. We compare their applicability to large-scale simulations of cortical neural networks. Index Terms—Chaos‚ Hodgkin–Huxley‚ pulse-coupled neural network (PCNN)‚ quadratic integrate-and-fire (I&F)‚ spike-timing. A. Tonic Spiking Most neurons are excitable‚ that is‚ they are quiescent but can fire spikes when stimulated. To test this property‚ neurophysiologists
