The Brain and Cognitive Sciences I

Neural Networks

Description:

These images demonstrate the breadth of subject matter in this course. (Images courtesy of Nathan Wilson.) The images include a midsagittal brain section, a “Doogie” mouse over-expressing NR2B subunit of the NMDA receptor learns faster and remembers better, and a schematic representation of neural network: parallel interconnected nodes provide robust information processing in neuronal systems.
