Hodgkin-Huxley

• While FLIF, LIF, IF and other point models are reasonable, they are a real stretch as actual neural models.
• I'm not entirely up on this, but there are biological models that fit in with models of other cell types. For example, there might be a model for dealing with neural cancer.
• However, from a computational point of view, compartmental models are the pinacle.
• Here the neuron is broken into compartments, and behaviour is mapped explicitly.
• These can be really complex and can account for really fine grained spiking behaviour.
• There are quesions about ion channels, neuro-receptors, and changes of neural shape and other behaviour that a lot of neuroscientists are currently investigating.
