Izhikevich neuron model

The Izhikevich neuron model is a mathematical way to simulate how nerve cells (neurons) fire electrical signals. It captures the essential behavior of neurons with relatively simple equations, balancing biological detail with computational efficiency. By adjusting key parameters, it can mimic various types of neurons and their firing patterns, such as regular spiking or bursting. This model helps researchers understand brain activity and develop neural networks in a manageable and accurate way, providing insights into how neurons process information and communicate within the nervous system.
