Neuron models

6 important questions on Neuron models

Why are mathematical models needed in neuroscience?

Equations force a model to be precise, complete and self consistent
Fast to way to generate and vet ideas prior to full experimental testing
Is it generisable?

What are emerging properties?

Properties of a system that are not explicitly modeled in the individual components but arise from interaction of the different elements.

What is in the basis for modeling a key aspect of neurons?

Electric signalling
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

How do you start a model?

With a reduced model so in a neuron a point neuron

What is the hardware version of an integrate and fire neuronal network?

IBM brain chip

What are emerging properties of an action potential?

Ap treshold, refractory period, ap propagation

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
