SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING ...

Quantitative Neurophysiology is supplementary text for a junior or senior level course in
neuroengineering. It may also serve as an quick-start for graduate students in engineering 
physics or neuroscience as well as for faculty interested in becoming familiar with the basics
of quantitative neuroscience. The first chapter is a review of the structure of the neuron and
anatomy of the brain. Chapters 2-6 derive the theory of active and passive membranes 
electrical propagation in axons and dendrites and the dynamics of the synapse. Chapter 7 is an
introduction to modeling networks of neurons and artificial neural networks. Chapter 8 and 9
address the recording and decoding of extracellular potentials. The final chapter has
descriptions of a number of more advanced or new topics in neuroengineering. Throughout the
text  vocabulary is introduced which will enable students to read more advanced literature and
communicate with other scientists and engineers working in the neurosciences. Numerical methods
are outlined so students with programming knowledge can implement the models presented in the
text. Analogies are used to clarify topics and reinforce key concepts. Finally  homework and
simulation problems are available at the end of each chapter. Table of Contents: Preface  
Neural Anatomy   Passive Membranes   Active Membranes   Propagation   Neural Branches  
Synapses   Networks of Neurons   Extracellular Recording and Stimulation   The Neural Code  
Applications   Biography   Index
