A new reduced-morphology model for CA1 pyramidal cells and its validation and comparison with other models using HippoUnit

Abstract Modeling long-term neuronal dynamics may require running long-lasting simulations. Such simulations are computationally expensive, and therefore it is advantageous to use simplified models that sufficiently reproduce the real neuronal properties. Reducing the complexity of the neuronal dend...
