A textbook for students with limited background in mathematics and
computer coding, emphasizing computer tutorials that guide readers
in producing models of neural behavior. This introductory text
teaches students to understand, simulate, and analyze the complex
behaviors of individual neurons and brain circuits. It is built
around computer tutorials that guide students in producing models
of neural behavior, with the associated Matlab code freely
available online. From these models students learn how individual
neurons function and how, when connected, neurons cooperate in a
circuit. The book demonstrates through simulated models how
oscillations, multistability, post-stimulus rebounds, and chaos can
arise within either single neurons or circuits, and it explores
their roles in the brain. The book first presents essential
background in neuroscience, physics, mathematics, and Matlab, with
explanations illustrated by many example problems. Subsequent
chapters cover the neuron and spike production; single spike trains
and the underlying cognitive processes; conductance-based models;
the simulation of synaptic connections; firing-rate models of
large-scale circuit operation; dynamical systems and their
components; synaptic plasticity; and techniques for analysis of
neuron population datasets, including principal components
analysis, hidden Markov modeling, and Bayesian decoding. Accessible
to undergraduates in life sciences with limited background in
mathematics and computer coding, the book can be used in a
"flipped" or "inverted" teaching approach, with class time devoted
to hands-on work on the computer tutorials. It can also be a
resource for graduate students in the life sciences who wish to
gain computing skills and a deeper knowledge of neural function and
neural circuits.
