In this paper we present a neuron model based on the description of biophysical mechanisms combined with a regulatory mechanism from control theory. The aim of this work is to provide a neuron model that is capable of describing the main features of biological neurons such as maintaining an equilibrium potential using the NaK-ATPase and the generation of action potentials as well as to provide an estimation of the energy consumption of a single cell in a) quiescent mode (or equilibrium state) and b) firing state, when excited by other neurons. The same mechanism has also been used to model the synaptic excitation used in the simulated system.
