Computational Neurobiology Specialization Area
Neuroscience is one area in biology where quantitative modeling has made a major impact. Starting with the Nobel prize winning work by Hodgkin and Huxley, the use of modeling techniques has driven much neuroscience research, particularly at the cellular and systems levels. Modeling projects span the gamut from receptor level stochastic modeling through biophysical models of cells to small networks of neurons on up to cognitive modeling and how the interactions of different brain areas lead to different behaviors. These different levels of modeling require bridging spatial scales from nanometers to centimeters and temporal scales from microseconds to minutes. Computation, simulation, and mathematical analysis will play an important role in making this bridge possible.
