Averaged neuron(AN) model is a conductance-based (Hodgkin-Huxley type) neuron model which includes a mean-field approximation of a population of neurons. You can simulate previous models (AN model: Tatsuki et al., 2016 and SAN model: Yoshida et al., 2018), and various models with 'X model' based on channel and parameter modules. Also, intracellular and extracellular ion concentration can be taken into consideration using the Nernst equation (See Ramussen et al., 2017).
