Unfortunately, channel noise is rarely considered for large network simulations or detailed multi-compartmental models
http://ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1001102#article1.body1.sec1.p2

This sentence is unclear: “Unfortunately, channel noise is rarely considered for large network simulations or detailed multi-compartmental models [25], due to its heavy computational load.” The sentence is intended to be: “Unfortunately, channel noise is rarely considered for large network simulations or detailed multi-compartmental models (but see [25]), due to its heavy computational load."
