contents We study mean-field descriptions for spatially-extended networks of linear (leaky) and quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons with stochastic spiking times. We consider large-population limits of continuous-time Galves-Löcherbach (GL) networks with linear and quadratic intrinsic dynamics. We prove that that the Poisson Hypothesis holds for the replica-mean-field limit of these networks, that is, in a suitably-defined limit, neurons are independent with interaction times replaced by independent time-inhomogeneous Poisson processes with intensities depending on the mean firing rates, extending known results to networks with quadratic intrinsic dynamics and resets. Proving that the Poisson Hypothesis holds opens up the possibility of studying the large-population limit in these networks. We prove this limit to be a well-posed neural field model, subject to stochastic resets.
