NEUR 4001 - Computational Neuroscience Laboratory

4 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: NEUR 3020 and either MATH 2201 or MATH 2211, each with a C or higher, or consent of instructor.
Description
(Cross-listed with 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.
