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,…

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!

NEUR100: Neurons are specialized cells
Only so long ago, (ie January) I started my Neuro100 class with the wonderful Professor Wasserman as our guide. If there’s anything I’ve learn in these three months, it’s that everything we want to know and ever have known was because someone asked a question. In a lot of my future science blogs, many of…
