The implications of the various dynamics, modulations, and sensitivity of voltage-sensitive currents are an important topic in computational neuroscience. Additionally, extensive research is being conducted into the computational functions of complex dendrites. There is a huge collection of writing in regards to how various flows cooperate with mathematical properties of neurons. A few models are likewise following biochemical pathways at tiny scopes like spines or synaptic clefts. In silico modeling of realistic neurons is made possible by a number of software packages, including genesis and neuron. Blue Brain, which aims to build a biophysically accurate simulation of a cortical column on the Blue Gene supercomputer. Mechanisms that serve as the building blocks for network dynamics can be provided by modeling the richness of biophysical properties on a single neuron scale. However, detailed neuron descriptions are computationally expensive, which can make it difficult to conduct realistic network investigations because many neurons need to be simulated. Thus, scientists that concentrate on huge brain circuits ordinarily address every neuron and neurotransmitter with a falsely straightforward model, overlooking a significant part of the natural detail. As a result, there is a push to develop simplified neuron models with low computational overhead that can maintain significant biological fidelity. Development, axonal patterning, and guidance Computational neuroscience aims to address a wide range of questions. From computationally expensive, detailed neuron models, algorithms have been developed to produce faithful, faster-running, simplified surrogate neuron models. During development, how are dendrites and axons formed? How do axons know which targets to pursue and how to get there? In what way do neurons migrate between the central and peripheral systems? How are synapses created? From molecular biology, we know that different parts of the nervous system release different chemical cues, like growth factors and hormones, that control how quickly and how well functional connections between neurons grow and develop.

Computational neuroscience research can be roughly divided into several fields of study. When it comes to synthesizing new models of biological phenomena and analyzing novel data, the majority of computational neuroscientists work closely with experimentalists. Modeling of a single neuron even a single neuron has intricate biophysical properties and can carry out computations. The fast-acting sodium and the inward-rectifying potassium were the only two voltage-sensitive currents in the initial model developed by Hodgkin and Huxley. Voltage sensitive ion channels are glycoprotein molecules that extend through the lipid bilayer and permit ions to traverse the axolemma under certain conditions. Although it was able to accurately predict the action potential's timing and qualitative characteristics, it was unable to accurately predict a number of crucial characteristics like adaptation and shunting.
