Modeling in the Neurosciences

by G.N. Reeke, Roman R. Poznanski, Kenneth A. Lindsay

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