Modeling in the Neurosciences

Focusing on late-1990s mathematical and computer models, techniques and methods, this text represents a comprehensive treatment of various aspects of the neurosciences from the biophysical, cellular and network levels.
With contributions from more than 40 renowned experts, this work is essential for those interested in neuronal modelling and quantitative neuroscience, Focusing on new mathematical and computer models, techniques and methods, this monograph represents a cohesive and comprehensive treatment of various aspects of the neurosciences from biophysical, cellular, and network levels. Many state-of-the-art examples are presented as to how mathematical and computer modelling can contribute to the understanding of mechanisms and systems in the neurosciences. Each chapter also includes suggestions of possible refinements for future modelling in this rapidly changing and expanding field. This book will benefit and inspire the advanced modeller, and give the beginner sufficient confidence to model a wide selection of neuronal systems at the biophysical, cellular and network levels.
