Course Registration - Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience

Module PMRF-ISSS001/2022

About the Course

This module will cover various aspects of modelling with focus on biological systems. Starting with the motivation for and the process of building a model, we will discuss how to analyze them. We will look at tools developed to gain insights into a system where analytical solutions are difficult or impossible. The discussions will rely on examples taken from various organizational levels of biology ranging from species interactions to sub cellular interactions. The module will consist of lectures accompanied with problem solving and doubt clearing sessions.
