Abstract
In this chapter, we study the periodic firing frequency, f, of a model neuron as a function of input current density, I. The graph of f as a function of I is commonly called the frequency-current curve, or f-I curve, of the model neuron. The f-I curve summarizes important features of the dynamics of a neuron in a single picture.
