The macroscopic dynamics of large populations of neurons can be mathematically analyzed using low-dimensional firing-rate or neural-mass models. However, these models fail to capture spike synchronization effects and nonstationary responses of the population activity to rapidly changing stimuli. Here we derive low-dimensional firing-rate models for homogeneous populations of neurons modeled as time-dependent renewal processes. The class of renewal neurons includes integrate-and-fire models driven by white noise and has be
