PDF-(BOOK)-Methods for Neural Ensemble Recordings (Methods in Life Sciences - Neuroscience

Neuroscientists have long recognized the importance of understanding the underlying principles of information processing by large populations of neurons Methods for Neural Ensemble Recordings explores methods for using electrophysiological techniques for monitoring the concurrent activity of ensembles of single neurons Since current methods allow one to simultaneously record the extracellular activity of up to 100150 neurons for days or even weeks neural ensemble recordings have been used to address longstanding issues in development learning memory sensorimotor integration sensory information processing and neuronal plasticityEXAMINES THE MANY POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS FOR THIS REVOLUTIONARY METHODEach chapter offers a stepbystep description for the implementation of a particular technique or experimental paradigm employing simultaneous multiple electrode recordings The techniques described can be used in applications that impact a large group of life scientists includingdrug screening pharmacology in both in vitro and in vivo preparationsdevelopmental studies and studies of neuronal plasticitychronic monitoring of neuronal function in behavioral studiesphysiological monitoring of neuronal activity in cell cultures and brain slicesphysiological monitoring of neuronal activity in neurons trafected with genetic vectorschronic monitoring of physiological changes in populations of neurons during learning of new sensorimotor and cognitive tasks.

Outline. ?Waves in Neural Media: From Single Neurons to Neural Fields surveys mathematical models of traveling waves in the brain, ranging from intracellular waves in single neurons to waves of activity in large-scale brain networks. The work provides a pedagogical account of analytical methods for finding traveling wave solutions of the variety of nonlinear differential equations that arise in such models. These include regular and singular perturbation methods, weakly nonlinear analysis, Evans functions and wave stability, homogenization theory and averaging, and stochastic processes. Also covered in the text are exact methods of solution where applicable. Historically speaking, the propagation of action potentials has inspired new mathematics, particularly with regard to the PDE theory of waves in excitable media. More recently, continuum neural field models of large-scale brain networks have generated a new set of interesting mathematical questions with regard to the solution of nonlocal integro-differential equations.Advanced graduates, postdoctoral researchers and faculty working in mathematical biology, theoretical neuroscience, or applied nonlinear dynamics will find this book to be a valuable resource. The main prerequisites are an introductory graduate course on ordinary differential equations or partial differential equations, making this an accessible and unique contribution to the field of mathematical biology. 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.
