We propose an adaptive generalized leaky integrate-and-fire model, for hippocampal CA1 neurons and interneurons, in which the nonlinear nature of the firing dynamics was successfully reproduced by linear ordinary equations equipped with nonlinear and more realistic initial and update conditions after each spike event, which strictly depends on the external stimulation current.

Dependencies and installation instructions: follow instructions below.

In order to reproduce Fig. 7 and 8 of the paper run:
python -i Fig7_ModelDB.py
or
python -i Fig8_ModelDB.py

To reproduce the same figures with the NEST model run:
python -i Fig7_ModelDB_nest.py
or
python -i Fig8_ModelDB_nest.py

The scripts will produce the following images:
Fig7 from python code

Fig8 from python code

Fig7 from python-NEST code

Fig8 from python-nest code
