Um dia a coisa teria que se complicar. Pelo menos, como diz o finalzinho dessa apresentação da editoria, temos uma chance: "Cada capítulo fornece uma visão geral de um tópico em particular, incluindo sua história, resultados importantes da área e futuros desafios, e o texto se completa com um índice (explicitador do jargão) de acrônimos que permite que os leitores se familiarizem com a linguagem utilizada".
Great interest is now being shown in computational and mathematical neuroscience, fuelled in part by the rise in computing power, the ability to record large amounts of neurophysiological data, and advances in stochastic analysis. These techniques are leading to biophysically more realistic models. It has also become clear that both neuroscientists and mathematicians profit from collaborations in this exciting research area.Graduates and researchers in computational neuroscience and stochastic systems, and neuroscientists seeking to learn more about recent advances in the modelling and analysis of noisy neural systems, will benefit from this comprehensive overview. The series of self-contained chapters, each written by experts in their field, covers key topics such as: Markov chain models for ion channel release; stochastically forced single neurons and populations of neurons; statistical methods for parameter estimation; and the numerical approximation of these stochastic models.Each chapter gives an overview of a particular topic, including its history, important results in the area, and future challenges, and the text comes complete with a jargon-busting index of acronyms to allow readers to familiarize themselves with the language used.
