A Brief History of Excitable Map-Based Neurons and Neural Networks
This review gives a short historical account of the excitable maps approach for modeling neurons and neuronal networks. Some early models, due to Pasemann (1993), Chialvo (1995) and Kinouchi and Tragtenberg (1996), are compared with more recent proposals by Rulkov (2002) and Izhikevich (2003). We also review map-based schemes for electrical and chemical synapses and some recent findings as critical avalanches in map-based neural networks. We conclude with suggestions for further work in this area like more efficient maps, compartmental modeling and close dynamical comparison with conductance-based models.

The interplay of inhibitory and electrical synapses results in complex persistent activity
Inhibitory neurons play a crucial role in maintaining persistent neuronal activity. Although connected extensively through electrical synapses (gap-junctions), these neurons also exhibit interactions through chemical syn…
Mechanistic Model to Replace Hodgkin-Huxley Equations
In this paper we construct a mathematical model for excitable membranes by introducing circuit characteristics for ion pump, ion current activation, and voltage-gating. The model is capable of reestablishing the Nernst r…
modelExplaining excitable population dynamics in bark beetles: From life history to large, episodic outbreaks
Bark beetles are significant forest pests, with some species capable of causing widespread tree mortality. Among these, the mountain pine beetle (MPB) stands out for its exceptionally destructive outbreak in the 2000s. W…
Directional excitability in Hilbert spaces
We introduce a generalized excitable system in which spikes can happen in a continuum of directions, therefore drastically enriching the expressivity and control capability of the spiking dynamics. In this generalized ex…
Average activity of excitatory and inhibitory neural populations
We develop an extension of the Ott-Antonsen method that allows obtaining the mean activity (spiking rate) of a population of excitable units. By means of the Ott-Antonsen method, equations for the dynamics of the order p…
