Nanoneuroscience : Structural and Functional Roles of the Neuronal Cytoskeleton in Health and Disease Hardback
by Nancy J. Woolf, Avner Priel
Part of the Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering series
Hardback
Description
Nanoneuroscience is the study of computationally relevant biomolecules found inside neurons. Because of recent technological advances at the nanometer scale, scientists have at their disposal increasingly better ways to study the brain and the biophysics of its molecules.
This book describes how biomolecules contribute to the operations of synapses and perform other computationally relevant functions inside dendrites.
These biomolecular operations considerably expand the brain-computer analogy - endowing each neuron with the processing power of a silicon-based multiprocessor.
Amazingly, the brain contains hundreds of billions of neurons.
