In this lesson, you will learn about some typical neuronal models employed by machine learners and computational neuroscientists, meant to imitate the biophysical properties of real neurons. 

This lesson contains practical exercises which accompanies the first few lessons of the Neuroscience for Machine Learners (Neuro4ML) course. 

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

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. 

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

This lesson goes over some examples of how machine learners and computational neuroscientists go about designing and building neural network models inspired by biological brain systems. 

This lesson introduces some practical exercises which accompany the Synapses and Networks portion of this Neuroscience for Machine Learners course. 

This lesson introduces the practical exercises which accompany the previous lessons on animal and human connectomes in the brain and nervous system. 

This lesson characterizes different types of learning in a neuroscientific and cellular context, and various models employed by researchers to investigate the mechanisms involved. 

In this lesson, you will learn about different approaches to modeling learning in neural networks, particularly focusing on system parameters such as firing rates and synaptic weights impact a network. 

In this lesson, you will learn more about some of the issues inherent in modeling neural spikes, approaches to ameliorate these problems, and the pros and cons of these approaches. 

 In this lesson, you will learn about some of the many methods to train spiking neural networks (SNNs) with either no attempt to use gradients, or only use gradients in a limited or constrained way. 

In this lesson, you will learn how to train spiking neural networks (SNNs) with a surrogate gradient method. 

This lesson explores how researchers try to understand neural networks, particularly in the case of observing neural activity. 

As the previous lesson of this course described how researchers acquire neural data, this lesson will discuss how to go about interpreting and analysing the data. 

In this lesson you will learn about the motivation behind manipulating neural activity, and what forms that may take in various experimental designs. 

This video briefly goes over the exercises accompanying Week 6 of the Neuroscience for Machine Learners (Neuro4ML) course, Understanding Neural Networks.

In this lesson, you will learn about one particular aspect of decision making: reaction times. In other words, how long does it take to take a decision based on a stream of information arriving continuously over time?

In this lesson, you will hear about some of the open issues in the field of neuroscience, as well as a discussion about whether neuroscience works, and how can we know?

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