The anatomy of the spinal cord is very unique. Externally‚ it is initially surrounded by the vertebral column. The vertebral column is divided into the cervical‚ thoracic‚ lumbar‚ sacral‚ and coccygeal regions. These different vertebrae protect the spinal cord from damage and form a type of shell around it. The spinal cord appears as a long‚ thin cord of nerves. The peripheral nerves that extend out to many parts of the body arise from the spinal cords thirty-one segmental pairs of nerves. The cervical

Which Model to Use for Cortical Spiking Neurons? Eugene M. Izhikevich 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
