Beschreibung

Very Good+ in a Very Good- DJ: The Book shows just a hint of crimp to the heel of the backstrip and even less at the head of same; small, very faint smudges to the top edge of the text block; else flawless; the binding is ever so slightly cocked off square but remains secure; the text is clean. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing mild wear and minor, unobtrusive imperfections only. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Very close to 'As New'. The DJ shows mild wrinkling along the top edge of the panels (mainly the front panel) and head of the backstrip; a 2" closed tear across the backstrip near the heel; rubbing to the rear panel; unclipped. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Large 8vo (9.25 x 7.25 x 1.85 inches) . Language: English. Weight: 51 ounces. Hardback with DJ. ; Computational Neuroscience; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xiii, 671 pages.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Much research focuses on the question of how information is processed in nervous systems, from the level of individual ionic channels to large-scale neuronal networks, and from "simple" animals such as sea slugs and flies to cats and primates. New interdisciplinary methodologies combine a bottom-up experimental methodology with the more top-down-driven computational and modeling approach. This book serves as a handbook of computational methods and techniques for modeling the functional properties of single and groups of nerve cells.The contributors highlight several key trends: (1) the tightening link between analytical/numerical models and the associated experimental data, (2) the broadening of modeling methods, at both the subcellular level and the level of large neuronal networks that incorporate real biophysical properties of neurons as well as the statistical properties of spike trains, and (3) the organization of the data gained by physical emulation of the nervous system components through the use of very large scale circuit integration (VLSI) technology.The field of neuroscience has grown dramatically since the first edition of this book was published nine years ago. Half of the chapters of the second edition are completely new; the remaining ones have all been thoroughly revised. Many chapters provide an opportunity for interactive tutorials and simulation programs. They can be accessed via Christof Koch's Website.Contributors : Larry F. Abbott, Paul R.
