Kurzkommentar
The lectures provides an introduction to the structure and functional principles underlying brain function. This includes the basic electrical properties of biological membranes, the structure and function of single neurons (dendrites, axons, synapses) and neuronal networks, the generation and exchange of action potentials, the interactions of neurons within and between neuronal networks,functional aspects of neural information processing, neural coding and neural computation, the physiology and molecular biology of synaptic plasticity and learning, and general principles underlying learning and behavior.
