It is shown that very small time steps are required to reproduce correctly the synchronization properties of large networks of integrate-and-fire neurons when the differential system describing their dynamics is integrated with the standard Euler or second-order Runge-Kutta algorithms. The reason for that behavior is analyzed, and a simple improvement of these algorithms is proposed.
