Good grief, yes. You need to do a literature search. Just for
starters, check out the journal Neural Computation. There are
several books on modeling real neural networks -- one that springs
to mind is by Christof Koch (and Idan Segev?), and a book by Ronald
MacGregor.

I'm not familiar with engineering papers, but I would guess
that the difference in style is that in engineering, the work
that was already done is accepted, while in such a new field
as neural modeling, there are disagreements on even the basics.
