Numerous neuron models have been made, but most of them are "single-purpose" in that they are made to address a single scientific question. In contrast, multipurpose neuron models are made to be used to address many scientific questions.

In 2011, the guest published a multipurpose rodent pyramidal-cell model which has been actively used by the community ever since.

We talk about how such models are made, and how his group later built human neuron models to explore network dynamics in brains of depressed patients.
