Hippocampome.org is a knowledge base of neuron types in the rodent hippocampal formation upon which we aim to build a full-scale model of the hippocampus. Simulation costs of biophysically detailed Hodgkin-Huxley-type neuronal models often impose limits on the scale of biologically realistic network models. Therefore, our immediate modeling goal is to create computationally efficient models that quantitatively reproduce various firing-pattern features of hippocampal neuron types.
