Izhikevich Model

The Izhikevich model is a mathematical way to simulate how neurons (brain cells) fire electrical signals. It balances biological realism with computational efficiency, capturing diverse neuron behaviors by adjusting a few parameters. Essentially, it uses simple equations to replicate the complex patterns of neuron activity, such as regular firing or bursting. This makes it valuable for studying brain processes or building realistic neural networks in computers, helping researchers understand how different neurons contribute to brain functions without requiring intensive calculations.
