There's a lot of good information on modeling spiking neurons here: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Category:Spiking_Network...

Also, I like the papers linked here by Eugene Izhikevich: http://www.izhikevich.org/publications/index.htm

The new links discussing the capsule neural networks are somewhat reminiscent of this polychronous computation paper: http://www.izhikevich.org/publications/polychronous_wavefron....
