Recently, Lynch and Houghton (2015) developed a method to predict in vivo
response of auditory neurons using an estimated spectrotemporal
receptive field (STRF) filter combined with an integrate-and-fire neuron
model based on the Izhikevich neuron (Izhikevich, 2003). This model
...
for enhanced biophysical realism. Optimization is performed iteratively
on the parameters of the filter and the parameters of the neuron model
using a genetic algorithm in which fitness is evaluated by the van
Rossum distance metric (van Rossum, 2001).

Lynch and
Houghton’s method fills a clear need in the neuroinformatics field and
moves forward the possibilities for neuron modeling in in vivo
electrophysiology research. There exist many avenues for further
