"We review here the development of Hodgkin- Huxley (HH) type models of cerebral cortex and thalamic neurons for network simulations. The intrinsic electrophysiological properties of cortical neurons were analyzed from several preparations, and we selected the four most prominent electrophysiological classes of neurons. These four classes are 'fast spiking', 'regular spiking', 'intrinsically bursting' and 'low-threshold spike' cells. For each class, we fit 'minimal' HH type models to experimental data. ..."
