Description
Summary:"This textbook is an introduction to systems and computational neuroscience with a special focus on cognition. It consists of three parts: Part I covers basic concepts and mathematical models of computational neuroscience, as well as cutting-edge topics. Part II is dedicated to building blocks of cognition: working memory (how our brain maintains and manipulates information "online" in the absence of any external input), decision making (how a choice is selected among multiple options under uncertainty and risk) and behavioral flexibility (how we direct our attention and control our actions). In Part III frontier research is discussed: models of large-scale multiregional brain systems, computational psychiatry, interface with Artificial Intelligence. The author emphasizes the viewpoint of neural circuits as dynamical systems, and cross-level (from genes and cell types to collective neural populations to behavior) mechanistic understanding of the brain and the mind."--
