'''Models of neural computation''' are attempts to elucidate, in an abstract and mathematical fashion, the core principles that underlie information processing in biological nervous systems, or functional components thereof. This article aims to provide an overview of the most definitive models of neuro-biological computation as well as the tools commonly used to construct and analyze them.

===Neurophysiological metronomes: neural circuits for pattern generation===
Mutually [[inhibitory]] processes are a unifying motif of all [[central pattern generator]]s. This has been demonstrated in the stomatogastric (STG) nervous system of crayfish and lobsters.<ref>Michael P. Nusbaum and Mark P.
