| Learning Outcome: | Upon completion of the module, students are able to understandof neuronal systems and behavioral performance, to evaluate the analysis and modeling of neurons, as well as to implement and to analyse neurons and neural networks. |
| Contents: | Based on examples the module presents the methodical procedure for the analysis and modeling of neurons and neural systems. Ethical aspects are discussed in connection with animal and human experiments.
Presented Topics:
Spiking neurons, resting membrane potential, ion channels, action potential, Hodgkin-Huxley model, phase plane analysis, leaky integrate-and-fire model, synaptic transmission, synaptic plasticity, firing rate neurons, neural networks, perceptron, Hebb's learning rule, attractor networks. |
