How to get started in computational neuroscience? | by NeuroTechX Content Lab | NeuroTechX Content Lab | Medium

A world with computational neuroscience is better than a world without it. We can measure. We’ve got data. How do we figure out what means what? The brain is a complex organ but it is finitely complex. Computational neuroscience is key to cracking that complexity. Let’s ask a pair of experienced practitioners about how to join this code-cracking enterprise. The representative of young academia is Artem Kirsanov. Artem is a student of computational neuroscience and biophysics, and a researcher at Moscow State University. He’s also an exquisite Youtuber. Research-wise, Artem works in the Laboratory of Extrasynaptic signaling, led by Dr. Alexey Semyanov. The lab’s main body of work is focused on (1) astrocytes, particularly on the analysis of calcium waves, which are likely to play a role in the modulation of synaptic activity through the release of gliotransmitters. (Recent opinion paper.) And (2) on the analysis of hippocampal theta activity from freely moving mice. At the moment, Artem
