Advanced material & Introduction to neural networks

Here you will find more advanced teaching material discussing neurophysiology. This material is based on the book “Dynamics of Neural Networks”.

Excitable cells part 1. A more in-depth treatment of the generation of membrane potentials, an equivalent electrical circuit of the cell membrane and the Hodgkin-Huxley equations (in part 2 below).

Excitable cells part 2. Voltage-gated channels and the Hodgkin-Huxley equations. A detailed treatise of transient and persistent voltage-gated channels and gating, resulting in the HH equations.

A gentle introduction to the chemical synapse. This will be extended shortly with a more detailed treatise and derivation of some elementary functions that describe the synaptic conductance.
