This introductory level course focuses on building a background in neuroscience, but with emphasis on computational approaches. Topics include basic biophysics of ion channels, Hodgkin-Huxley theory, use of simulators such as NEURON and GENESIS, recent applications of the compartmental modeling technique, and a survey of neuronal architectures of the retina, cerebellum, basal-ganglia and neo-cortex. Schwartz. 4 cr., 1st semester
In this seminar, recent research papers and applications in computational neuroscience will be reviewed. Topics covered include cortical modeling, analog VLSI, active perception, robotic control, stereo vision, and computer aided neuroanatomy. Schwartz. 4 cr., 2nd semester.
The CVCNS lab sponsors several weekly seminars on special topics or current research trends. Each seminar consists of an informal meeting during which we discuss readings. At the end of each meeting we decide as a group the readings for the next meeting based on our discussion and the interests of the participants.
Most seminars have an accompanying organizational Swiki or web page and mailing list to make the reading schedule accessible, to make electronic resources (e.g., code, papers, etc.) available, and for providing a forum for participants hold discussions between meetings.
The following table outlines our ongoing seminars.
| Seminar Title | Start – Finish Date | Meeting Time | Meeting Location |

| Surface Reconstruction | TBA | TBA | TBA |
| MRI | Sept 2002 – Present | Mondays 3pm | CNS Rm 301 |
