1.6 Time to Network: Brain Areas and their Function Hello neuro adventurers. We're nearing the end of our safari through the land of neurobiology. I have my adventure hat on. Do you? In the last two lectures, we had close encounters with those wild creatures called neurons, and their close companions. The synapses. In this lecture we'll stop at a few tourist destinations in the nervous system. T..

1.5 Making Connections: Synapses Hello again and namaste to all of you. In the last lecture we talked about ion channels and how to give rise to action potentials or spikes. In a later lecture we will describe this mathematically using a model first proposed by Hachkin and Hagsli in 1952. Hachkin and Hagsli got a Nobel prize for their computational model, now what does that mean for you? It mean..

1.4 The Electrical Personality of Neurons [MUSIC]. Hello and welcome to Neurobiology 101. In this lecture and in the next two lectures, we'll introduce you to neurons, synapses, and brain regions. Now you might have already taken a course or two in neuroscience or neurobiology in your careers. And if so, you might consider skipping this lecture and the next two ones. But on the other hand, if yo..

1.1 Course Introduction [MUSIC] Hello, and a warm welcome to everyone of you from around the world. This is week one of Computational Neuroscience, and I'm your instructor, Rajesh Rao. Let's begin our computational adventures with a picture. You've probably seen a picture like this before. Physicists tell us that this is the universe that we live in. But I think they're mistaken. This is the uni..
