Cellular neural network realizations of neuron models with diverse spiking patterns

In this paper we show cellular neural network (CNN) models of some basic types of cells characterized by diverse spiking patterns. After presenting some preliminary models (ion channels, neurons), CNN models of action potential generation are given, followed by an analysis of the rate-coding capabilities of the models. Furthermore, we show CNN models of synaptic connections. Finally, CNN models of neurons with diverse intrinsic firing patterns are presented.
