Integrate-and-Fire Model
The integrate-and-fire (IF) model is a simplified neuronal model that captures spike generation by integrating synaptic inputs until membrane potential reaches a threshold, at which point a spike is emitted. First proposed by Louis Lapicque in 1907 and refined with leak (leaky integrate-and-fire, LIF), it remains a standard tool for modeling neural populations and network dynamics due to its computational efficiency.
