Opis

Learn to use computational modelling techniques to understand the nervous system at all levels, from ion channels to networks.

Recenzje

'This book is an invaluable resource for computational neuroscientists, particularly for students starting their doctoral research. The comprehensive coverage, clear prose and extensive examples make it easy for a newcomer with only basic background knowledge to get to grips with a wide variety of complex computational modelling topics as a preparation for starting their own investigations.' Abigail Morrison, RWTH Aachen University
