Book Description
This book arose from a series of lectures presented at the CRM Summer School in Mathematical Biology held at the University of British Columbia in the summer of 19934 by John Milton, a clinical neurologist and biomathematician. In this work, three themes are explored: time-delayed feedback control, noise, and statistical properties of neurons and large neural populations. This volume focuses on systems composed of 2-3 neurons. Such neural populations are small enough to permit experimental manipulation while at the same time being well enough characterized so that plausible mathematical models can be posed. Thus direct comparisons between theory and observation are in principle possible.
