Two historical lineages in neuron modeling: deep learning vs. spiking neural networks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Two distinct historical research paths emerged from early attempts to model neurons. One lineage, following McCulloch-Pitts and the Perceptron, focused on logic, learning, and static representations, which eventually paved the way for modern deep learning. The other path, inspired by Lapicque and the Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) model, prioritized temporal dynamics, threshold-triggered events, and biophysical realism, forming the basis for spiking neural networks.
