Introduction to Theoretical Neurobiology: Volume 1, Linear Cable - Theory and Dendritic Structur

Klappentext This two-volume set explains the basic properties of a neuron - an electrically active nerve cell - and develops mathematical theories for the way neurons respond to the various stimuli they receive. Zusammenfassung The human brain contains billions of nerve cells whose activity plays a critical role in the way we behave! feel! perceive! and think. This two-volume set explains the basic properties of a neuron - an electrically active nerve cell - and develops mathematical theories for the way neurons respond to the various stimuli they receive.
