Lecture on the most important concepts in software engineering

This lecture covers an introduction to neuroinformatics and its subfields, the content of the short course and future neuroinformatics applications.

Introduction to the Mathematics chapter of Datalabcc's "Foundations in Data Science" series.

Primer on elementary algebra

Primer on linear algebra

Primer on systems of linear equations

Primer on calculus

How calculus relates to optimization

Big O notation

Basics of probability.

2nd part of the lecture. Introduction to cell receptors and signalling cascades

GABAergic interneurons and local inhibition on the circuit level.

The "connectome" is a term, coined in the past decade, that has been used to describe more than one phenomenon in neuroscience. This lecture explains the basics of structural connections at the micro-, meso- and macroscopic scales.

The Human Connectome Project aims to provide an unparalleled compilation of neural data, an interface to graphically navigate this data and the opportunity to achieve never before realized conclusions about the living human brain.

This lecture focuses on how the immune system can target and attack the nervous system to produce autoimmune responses that may result in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis and lupus cerebritis manifested by motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. Despite the fact that the brain is an immune-privileged site, autoreactive lymphocytes producing proinflammatory cytokines can cause active brain inflammation, leading to myelin and axonal loss.

An overview of some of the essential concepts in neuropharmacology (e.g. receptor binding, agonism, antagonism), an introduction to pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, and an overview of the drug discovery process relative to diseases of the Central Nervous System.

How does the brain learn? This lecture discusses the roles of development and adult plasticity in shaping functional connectivity.

The mechanisms behind changes in synaptic function created by learning.

This lecture covers an Introduction to neuron anatomy and signaling, and different types of models, including the Hodgkin-Huxley model.
