BIOL 74.03 Computational Modeling of the Nervous System

This course will cover theory and implementation of biophysical models of neural excitability from single neurons to small networks and the application of these models to understanding how the nervous system functions in health and disease. We will cover both detailed single neuron models using cable theory and simplified representations more tractable for simulating networks. Classes will be split between lectures and interactive coding exercises in Python, with the course culminating in a final project.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
