    • To accurately represent synaptic, anatomical, cellular, extracellular, and system-level dynamics.
    • To provide a tool for investigating motoneuron behavior and motor unit dynamics.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a computational model incorporating multi-scale dynamics.
    • Modeled the motoneuron pool innervating the mouse triceps surae muscle.
    • Validated the model against eleven key intracellular electrical properties and extracellular ventral root recordings.

    Main Results:

    • The model successfully captured unique electrical properties of mouse motoneurons.
    • Rigorous statistical analyses confirmed close matching with in vivo experimental measurements.
    • Model properties demonstrated high accuracy and biological relevance.

    Conclusions:

    • The validated multi-scale computational model is a valuable tool for neuroscience research.
