Computational neuroscience is the theoretical study of the brain to
uncover the principles and mechanisms that guide the development,
organization, information processing, and mental functions of the
nervous system. Although not a new area, it is only recently that
enough knowledge has been gathered to establish computational
neuroscience as a scientific discipline in its own right. Given the
complexity of the field, and its increasing importance in
progressing our understanding of how the brain works, there has
long been a need for an introductory text on what is often assumed
to be an impenetrable topic. The new edition of Fundamentals of
Computational Neuroscience build on the success and strengths of
the previous editions. It introduces the theoretical foundations of
neuroscience with a focus on the nature of information processing
in the brain. The book covers the introduction and motivation of
simplified models of neurons that are suitable for exploring
information processing in large brain-like networks. Additionally,
it introduces several fundamental network architectures and
discusses their relevance for information processing in the brain,
giving some examples of models of higher-order cognitive functions
to demonstrate the advanced insight that can be gained with such
studies. Each chapter starts by introducing its topic with
experimental facts and conceptual questions related to the study of
brain function. An additional feature is the inclusion of simple
Matlab programs that can be used to explore many of the mechanisms
explained in the book. An accompanying webpage includes programs
for download. The book will be the essential text for anyone in the
brain sciences who wants to get to grips with this topic.
