To Understand the Brain, You Have to Do the Math

Computational neuroscientists use mathematical models to unravel the brain’s secrets.

BrainFacts/SfN

What are Computational and Systems Neuroscience?

One of the fundamental questions motivating neuroscientists is to understand the relationship between brain activity and lived experience: how the different parts of the brain work together to produce the key ingredients for behavior: memory, feeling, thinking and imagination.

Danielle Bassett: The Flexible Brain

A neuroscientist describes how a friend's attempted suicide motivated her to use her knowledge of physics to study the brain.
