Computational Modeling of Olfactory Behavior

Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience

  • 207 Accesses

Definition

Computational modeling is an essential tool for developing an understanding of how nervous systems compute. This is particularly so for questions that span levels of analysis, attempting to integrate cellular, neuromodulatory, and electrophysiological data with behavioral performance. In neuroscience, computational techniques are used to study the mechanisms underlying neuronal or network responses to simple and complex inputs, analyze interactions among the parameters governing the properties of a neuron or network, and determine the coordinated mechanisms that underlie experimentally observed rich phenomena such as coherent oscillations or synaptic plasticity. In particular, computational modeling has been successful in associating neural activity with behavioral function, proposing neurophysiological mechanisms for observed behavioral capabilities, and generating novel, testable hypotheses. In our lab, computational models of behavioral phenomena have enabled us to...
