Description
(Same as NEUR 4001 and BIOL 4905.) Research techniques in computational neuroscience, including biophysical modeling of neurons, synapses, and neuronal networks. Topics include calcium dynamics, cellular homeostasis, ion channel kinetics, central pattern generator dynamics, neuronal network synchronization, and artificial intelligence. Students acquire basic programming skills in Matlab and other software to build/analyze computational models from literature-based biophysical measurements.
