Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience

Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience is a field that uses mathematical models and computer simulations to understand how the brain works. It seeks to explain how neurons (brain cells) process information, communicate, and produce behaviors and thoughts. By creating these models, scientists can test hypotheses about brain function, predict responses to different stimuli, and better understand disorders. Essentially, it combines biology, math, and computer science to explore the complex workings of the mind in a systematic and quantitative way.
