Faglig innhold

Neural data analysis and network models of brain functions are the primary focus of this course. We will review current computational models and how these models continue to develop together with experiments to further our understanding of the brain. The lectures will include the following topics:

  1. Principles of single neuron models: from point neurons to Hudgkin-Huxley
  2. Network models of memory: Hopfield Network, Attractor Networks of Spiking neurons, Balanced Networks
  3. Models of grid cells: Continuous attractor models and single neuron models
  4. Neural Coding: Information theory, role of correlated activity

The course involves writing an essay based on one of the topics covered in the course, or a topic agreed with the course coordinator. The essay must be written in the style of an academic article, reviewing the chosen topic, its historical development in relation to experiments, and also discussing at least one result (from published literature) related to the topic but not covered in the course.

The essays are due at the end of the course. The essay will be evaluated as pass/fail. The grade for the course will be determined from a written exam.

Læringsutbytte

After successfully passing the course, the student will be able to:

  • understand the role of quantitative approaches to neural data analysis and neural modelling.
  • think critically about theories and outstanding issues in the field of theoretical neurosciences.
  • approach relevant methods and theories that are useful for his/her field of research.
  • understand the relationship between major theoretical concepts in neuroscience and experimental data.
  • grasp the historical steps taken for the development of major themes in theoretical.

Læringsformer og aktiviteter

The course is taught in the second half of the spring semester. The language of teaching and evaluation is English. This course has restricted admission. Students admitted to the MSc in Neuroscience are guaranteed a seat. Other students must apply for a seat by the given deadlines.
