  2. 1. Information processing in the Striatum : a computational study

    Author : Johannes Hjorth; Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski; Anders Lansner; Kim Blackwell; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; striatum; fast spiking interneuron; gap junctions; synchronisation; up-state detection; CaMKII; mathematical modelling; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : The basal ganglia form an important structure centrally placed in the brain. They receive input from motor, associative and limbic areas, and produce output mainly to the thalamus and the brain stem. The basal ganglia have been implied in cognitive and motor functions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Contours of Cognition

    Author : Trond A. Tjøstheim; Kognitiv modellering; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computational; cognitive; neuroscience; perception; memory; spatial cognition; trust; pupil dynamics; reflection; thinking; intelligence; reinforcement learning; foraging; allostasis; decision making;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the nature of cognition. It posits that cognitive processes primarily are means to maintain allostasis in organisms whose ecological niches require movement to approach food-resources and avoid predation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Early Information Processing in the Vertebrate Olfactory System : A Computational Study

    Author : Malin Sandström; Anders Lansner; Dominique Martinez; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; olfaction; olfactory system; olfactory bulb; synchronisation; CaMKII; mathematical modelling; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : The olfactory system is believed to be the oldest sensory system. It developed to detect and analyse chemical information in the form of odours, and its organisation follows the same principles in almost all living animals - insects as well as mammals. READ MORE

  6. 4. Parallelism in Event-Based Computations with Applications in Biology

    Author : Pavol Bauer; Stefan Engblom; Markos A. Katsoulakis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Event-based computations; Parallel algorithms; Discrete-event simulation; Monte-Carlo methods; Systems biology.; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Event-based models find frequent usage in fields such as computational physics and biology as they may contain both continuous and discrete state variables and may incorporate both deterministic and stochastic state transitions. If the state transitions are stochastic, computer-generated random numbers are used to obtain the model solution. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mathematical models of biological interactions

    Author : Linnéa Gyllingberg; David J.T. Sumpter; Kolbjörn Tunström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics with specialization in Applied Mathematics; Matematik med inriktning mot tillämpad matematik;

    Abstract : Mathematical models are used to describe and analyse different types of biological interactions.  From self-propelled particle models capturing the collective motion of fish schools to models in mathematical neuroscience describing the interactions between neurons to individual-based models of ecological interactions.
