Neural mass models (NMM) seek to unveil the fundamental principles governing macroscopic neural activity, drawing insights from the brain's intricate and multi-scale structure. The advent of an exact mean-field theory for networks of quadratic integrate-and-fire (QIF) neurons represents a significant leap forward in our comprehension of the link between microscale neural mechanisms and mesoscopic brain activity [1]. This model establishes a robust coupling between two biophysically relevant macroscopic quantities: the firing rate and the mean membrane potential, which collectively drive the ev
