Introduction to Network Models
Using computation models, researchers are able to design network models which allow for the exploration in connectivity using both analysis and simulations. For the purposes of my Computational Neuroscience class, we’ll be focusing on neocortical circuits. The neocortex is the latest development in human evolution and is thought to be the location of higher processing,…

Memory from a Psychological View
One of the more annoying things about learning basic cognitive processes in psychology and neuroscience classes is just how easy the concepts seem. Of course you acquire information. How else would you know things? But when you get into the nitty-gritty of it, do you really know anything?

There’s no extended periods of time when the professor just talks and talks, there’s little structure to my notes, and whatever comes out of the class is usually based entirely from what we as students discuss. This is roughly what I got from my seminar.

NEUR100: Common Neurotransmitters and Their Uses
After you get over the physics of the nervous system, you land in its chemistry: neurotransmitters. In my class, the neurotransmitters in block quotes were the backbone of our study. You’ll see why soon!

Introduction to Americanah
I know that this book is for A Level, and “it’s thick, by Jove! It’s over 400 pages!”, but I always say get rid of your frogs first. Over the next couple of months, we’re going to be talking about the major themes, symbols, characters, and all that other stuff that makes Americanah by Chimamanda…
