Biophysics and Computations of the Cerebellar Purkinje Neuron

Download or read book Biophysics and Computations of the Cerebellar Purkinje Neuron written by Michael D. Forrest and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-10-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book suggests that the sodium-potassium pump may not simply be a homeostatic, "housekeeping" molecule for ionic gradients; but might be a computation element in the cerebellum and the brain. This concept runs contrary to conventional, entrenched viewpoints on brain function. This book will please those curious about brain computation, especially the computational capability of single neurons, and presents both computational and experimental approaches to neuroscience research.
