Getting started in computational neuroscience
Most who enter the field of computational neuroscience have a prior background in either mathematics, physics, computer science, or (neuro)biology. Since computational neuroscience requires a bit of knowledge from all these fields, with some basic knowledge of neurons and a familiarity with certain types of equations and mathematical concepts, we recommend two different "starting tracks" depending on the student's background: Intro to computational neuroscience for a computer sci/math background The student should learn basic concepts and equations for how neurons generate signals, either aSynaptic transmission
