We used simple neuron models of different types to predict
neuronal activity during intracellular current injection.
Having previously used standard integrate-and-fire neurons
with adaptation,
and spike response models with sliding threshold,
we now show directly from experiments that a simple neuron model
should feature an exponential spike initation mechanism
combined with refractory effects.
The quality of the spike-by-spike prediction is scaled
by the intrinsic noisiness of the neuron.
