    Neural Models Intro Questions 1

    Uploaded by

    whoow
    This document contains 6 practice questions for an introductory computational neuroscience course. The questions cover topics like calculating the surface area of a motoneuron from experimental measurements, determining the minimum number of compartments needed to model different neuron types, how membrane time constant scales with diameter, deriving an equation for neural circuit output proportional to firing rate difference, understanding pathologies of neural models, and describing one system model explored in class.
