Résumé

The authoritative reference on NEURON, the simulation environment for modeling biological neurons and neural networks that enjoys wide use in the experimental and computational neuroscience communities. This book shows how to use NEURON to construct and apply empirically based models. Written primarily for neuroscience investigators, teachers, and students, it assumes no previous knowledge of computer programming or numerical methods.
Readers with a background in the physical sciences or mathematics, who have some knowledge about brain cells and circuits and are interested in computational modeling, will alsofind it helpful. The NEURON Book covers material that ranges from the inner workings of this program to practical considerations involved in specifying the anatomical and biophysical properties that are to be represented in models.
It uses a problem-solving approach, with many working examples that readers can try for themselves.
NICHOLAS T. CARNEVALE is a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Psychology at vale university. Re directs the NEURON courses at the annual meetings of the Society for Neuroscience, and the NEURON Summer Courses at the university of california, San Diego, and university of Minnesota, Minneapolis. MICHAEL L. HINES is a Research Scientist in the Department of Computer Science at Yale University.
He created NEURON in collaboration with John W. Moore at Duke university, Durham NC, and is the principal investigator and chief software architect on the projectthat continues to supportand extend it.
