This lecture provides an overview of depression (epidemiology and course of the disorder), clinical presentation, somatic co-morbidity, and treatment options.

Part 1 of 2 of a tutorial on statistical models for neural data

What is the difference between attention and consciousness? This lecture describes the scientific meaning of consciousness, journeys on the search for neural correlates of visual consciousness, and explores the possibility of consciousness in other beings and even non-biological structures.

Ion channels and the movement of ions across the cell membrane.

Action potentials, and biophysics of voltage-gated ion channels.

Voltage-gating kinetics of sodium and potassium channels.

The ionic basis of the action potential, including the Hodgkin Huxley model.

Action potential initiation and propagation.

Long-range inhibitory connections in the brain, with examples from three different systems.

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

GABAergic interneurons and local inhibition on the circuit level.

Introduction to the types of glial cells, homeostasis (influence of cerebral blood flow and influence on neurons), insulation and protection of axons (myelin sheath; nodes of Ranvier), microglia and reactions of the CNS to injury.

Introduction to the course Cellular Mechanisms of Brain Function.

Introduction to the course Cellular Mechanisms of Brain Function.

Ion channels and the movement of ions across the cell membrane.

Action potential initiation and propagation.

Synaptic transmission and neurotransmitters

This lecture covers NeuronUnit, a library that builds upon SciUnit and integrates with several existing neuroinformatics resources to support validating single-neuron models using data gathered by neurophysiologists.

An introduction to the NeuroElectro project, which aims to organize information on cellular neurophysiology. Speaker: Shreejoy Tripathy

Simultaneously recorded neurons in non-human primates coordinate their spiking activity in a sequential manner that mirrors the dominant wave propagation directions of the local field potentials.
