Not the original poster, but:

- Theoretical Neuroscience Computational and Mathematical Modeling of Neural Systems - Peter Dayan, L. F. Abbott (2001) is quite good, more mathematical than computational.

- Neuronal dynamics, available here: https://neuronaldynamics.epfl.ch/ is also quite good, and free to read. Has python exercises as well. If I recall correctly, it mostly goes into simulations of singular neurons, and not so much entire networks and what we can do with them, but it does a good job at bridging the chemistry / biology / math to computation.

If we're talking about papers, one I mentioned in my other comment:

- Real-Time Computing Without Stable States: A New Framework for Neural Computation Based on Perturbations, https://doi.org/10.1162/089976602760407955

- Dynamics of Sparsely Connected Networks of Excitatory and Inhibitory Spiking Neurons, by Nicolas Brunel (Don't have a DOI on hand for this one)

- Spiking Neural Networks and Their Applications: A Review, https://doi.org/10.3390/brainsci12070863 , is a very nice review of methods and does some nice explaining on concepts.

If you're looking for keywords on the topic:

- Leaky Integrate and Fire (LIF) neurons

- Spiking neural networks

- Liquid State Machines (LSM)

- Synaptic plasticity (Models of synaptic plasticity)

- Spike-based synaptic plasticity
