“…Concerning the characterization of neurons, computational modeling is a valuable asset to investigate hypotheses not easily testable through direct experimentation thus allowing to gain biological insights into the working mechanisms of the targeted neurons [55]. Conductance-based models such as the well-known Hodgkin-Huxley model [47,48,49,50,46], as well as those derived from it [30,45], have been widely studied in recent years [17,7,92,27,91,38]. In simple terms, a conductance-based model is a biophysical representation of a neuron in which the ion channels are represented by conductances and the polar membrane by a capacitor.…”
