This lecture covers visualizing extracellular neurotransmitter dynamics

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 23:20

This lesson goes over the basic mechanisms of neural synapses, the space between neurons where signals may be transmitted. 

Difficulty level: Intermediate
Duration: 7:03
Speaker: : Marcus Ghosh

This lesson describes spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), a biological process that adjusts the strength of connections between neurons in the brain, and how one can implement or mimic this process in a computational model. You will also find links for practical exercises at the bottom of this page. 

Difficulty level: Intermediate
Duration: 12:50
Speaker: : Dan Goodman

This lesson discusses a gripping neuroscientific question: why have neurons developed the discrete action potential, or spike, as a principle method of communication? 

Difficulty level: Intermediate

Speaker: : Dan Goodman

This lecture consists of the second half of the introduction to signal transduction, here focusing on cell receptors and signalling cascades.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 41:38

In this lesson, you will learn about GABAergic interneurons and local inhibition on the circuit level.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 16:27
Speaker: : Carl Petersen

While the previous lesson in the Neuro4ML course dealt with the mechanisms involved in individual synapses, this lesson discusses how synapses and their neurons' firing patterns may change over time. 

Difficulty level: Intermediate
Duration: 4:48
Speaker: : Marcus Ghosh

In this lesson, you will learn about how machine learners and computational neuroscientists design and build models of neuronal synapses. 

Difficulty level: Intermediate
