Comparison of the dynamics of neural interactions between current-based and conductance-based integrate-and-fire recurrent networks

Models of networks of Leaky Integrate-and-Fire neurons (LIF) are a widely used tool for theoretical investigations of brain function. These models have been used both with current- and conductance-based synapses. However, the differences in the dynamics expressed by these two approaches have been so far mainly studied at the single neuron level. To investigate how these synaptic models affect network activity, we compared the single-neuron and...
