A comprehensive, integrated, and accessible textbook presenting
core neuroscientific topics from a computational perspective,
tracing a path from cells and circuits to behavior and cognition.
This textbook presents a wide range of subjects in neuroscience
from a computational perspective. It offers a comprehensive,
integrated introduction to core topics, using computational tools
to trace a path from neurons and circuits to behavior and
cognition. Moreover, the chapters show how computational
neuroscience-methods for modeling the causal interactions
underlying neural systems-complements empirical research in
advancing the understanding of brain and behavior. The chapters-all
by leaders in the field, and carefully integrated by the
editors-cover such subjects as action and motor control;
neuroplasticity, neuromodulation, and reinforcement learning;
vision; and language-the core of human cognition. The book can be
used for advanced undergraduate or graduate level courses. It
presents all necessary background in neuroscience beyond basic
facts about neurons and synapses and general ideas about the
structure and function of the human brain. Students should be
familiar with differential equations and probability theory, and be
able to pick up the basics of programming in MATLAB and/or Python.
Slides, exercises, and other ancillary materials are freely
available online, and many of the models described in the chapters
are documented in the brain operation database, BODB (which is also
described in a book chapter). Contributors Michael A. Arbib, Joseph
