PDF-(EBOOK)-Theoretical Neuroscience: Computational and Mathematical Modeling of Neural Systems

Theoretical neuroscience provides a quantitative basis for describing what nervous systems do determining how they function and uncovering the general principles by which they operate This text introduces the basic mathematical and computational methods of theoretical neuroscience and presents applications in a variety of areas including vision sensorymotor integration development learning and memoryThe book is divided into three parts Part I discusses the relationship between sensory stimuli and neural responses focusing on the representation of information by the spiking activity of neurons Part II discusses the modeling of neurons and neural circuits on the basis of cellular and synaptic biophysics Part III analyzes the role of plasticity in development and learning An appendix covers the mathematical methods used and exercises are available on the books Web site.

Much research focuses on the question of how information is processed in nervous systems, from the level of individual ionic channels to large-scale neuronal networks, and from simple animals such as sea slugs and flies to cats and primates. New interdisciplinary methodologies combine a bottom-up experimental methodology with the more top-down-driven computational and modeling approach. This book serves as a handbook of computational methods and techniques for modeling the functional properties of single and groups of nerve cells. The contributors highlight several key trends: (1) the tightening link between analytical/numerical models and the associated experimental data, (2) the broadening of modeling methods, at both the subcellular level and the level of large neuronal networks that incorporate real biophysical properties of neurons as well as the statistical properties of spike trains, and (3) the organization of the data gained by physical emulation of the nervous system components through the use of very large scale circuit integration (VLSI) technology. The field of neuroscience has grown dramatically since the first edition of this book was published nine years ago. Half of the chapters of the second edition are completely new the remaining ones have all been thoroughly revised. Many chapters provide an opportunity for interactive tutorials and simulation programs. They can be accessed via Christof Koch\'s Website.ContributorsLarry F. Abbott, Paul R.
