We use the framework of Quantitative Hydrodynamics to derive a CLT around its hydrodynamic limit for an interacting particle system inspired by integrate-and-fire neuron models. The hydrodynamic limit of this model was originally derived by Chariker, De Masi, Lebowitz and Presutti, and as an important intermediate step we show that this convergence holds at optimal $L^2$-speed. Joint with Milton Jara and Yangrui Xiang.
