Abstract:
This course will focus on the organization and flow of information within the nervous system, at the levels of molecules, single neurons, and systems of neurons. The basic biophysical structure and function of the nervous system is now moderately well understood. However, the textbooks that describe the biology of the nervous system generally do
not discuss information, even though it is universally agreed that the nervous system is an information processing system. The course will relate the biophysical structure and function of the nervous system to the processing of information. In doing so, the course will discuss the fundamental principles of the nervous system that should be helpful in designing intelligent machines that are capable of unsupervised learning. The course will include a review of cellular and systems neurophysiology. However, students are expected to have already taken a course that covers basic neurobiology. Only a minimal knowledge of mathematics is needed.
