Related, a few years ago I wrote a series of blog posts with code and discussion on how to do some basic neural simulations in Python: http://www.neurdon.com/author/byron/. This includes spiking leaky integrate-and-fire neurons, the Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model, and the Izhikevich model neurons.

Cool! I'm currently doing summer research modelling neurons and your posts really helped me learn this stuff. I would go through your code line-by-line writing it out and then I'd just play with the parameters. It was a nice starting point. Thanks! https://github.com/mef51/HodgkinHuxleyNeurons

Very nice! I'm glad you found them useful. When I have time, I'll convert them and some unpublished examples into IPython Notebooks.
