Neocortical neurons can be classified into different electrical firing types (e-types). A common approach to modeling e-types involves creating detailed electrical models (e-models) using generic ion channel currents such as transient and persistent sodium, potassium channels, and high- and low-voltage activated calcium channels. While this approach accurately captures a neuron's electrical behavior, it does not establish a link between specific ion channels and observed electrophysiological properties. However, if we model the neuron using only the ion channels known to be expressed in that c
