Understanding dynamics and computations in the brain by simulating
neurons and networks
The brain is an extremely complex information processing device whose operational principles are still incompletely understood, despite many years of intense experimental and theoretical investigation. Detailed computer simulations have emerged as a useful tool in this quest, which complement and link the rich variety of experimental methods, and aid the identification of the mechanisms that underlie cellular and network dynamics and computations in the brain. I will describe some of the main approaches used in neural modeling, including their advantages and limitations, and illustrate how these methods can be applied to gain insight into how neurons and networks produce complex dynamics, give rise to useful internal representations and ultimately to cognitive functions such as learning and memory.
