MODELING IN THE NEUROSCIENCES: FROM BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS TO NEUROMIMETIC ROBOTICS
SECOND EDITION

Edited by
G.N.Reeke, R.R. Poznanski, K.A. Lindsay, J.R. Rosenberg, and O.Sporns

The Second Edition is a thoroughly updated and carefully written and edited
volume, dedicated to covering recent conceptual advances in the neurosciences
as well as the basics of the field. It is essential for those interested in
theoretical neuroscience and its implementation via integrative and synthetic
neuronal modeling. Many state-of-the-art examples are presented to show how
mathematical and computer modeling can contribute at various levels in the
hierarchy of the neurosciences. Each chapter includes a problem set. Data
sets are available online to add coverage for future advances in this rapidly
changing and expanding field.

This seminal book develops models that provide insights into underlying
physiological mechanisms at the molecular, cellular, and network levels.
Physiological mechanisms, such as voltage-dependent ion channels,
calcium-dependent release, neurotransmitter-receptor dynamics and 
second-messenger effects, backpropagating sodium spikes, as well as cable
properties governing electric current flow in neurons and neuronal networks
are discussed throughout the book. The final chapters outline directions of
theoretical modeling leading towards neural robotics and the fabrication of
neuromimetic robotic devices beyond what is currently available in
today's robotic technology.

Dimensions

Hardcover (grey vinyl board with gold lettering on light green spine) +
jacket cover (maroon red cover with golden green micrograph superimposed on
black background), Approx. 740 pages, 280 illus., Bibliography :-1600 refs.
