BI 215 Xiao-Jing Wang: Theoretical Neuroscience Comes of Age
Neuroscience, Cognition, Cognitive Psychology and podcast with Xiao-Jing Wang
Brain Inspired, Hosted by Paul Middlebrooks
About
Xiao-Jing Wang surveys theoretical neuroscience through models of cognition, working memory and decision-making. The discussion connects his textbook with the field’s history and current research, including inhibitory-cell diversity, large-scale cortical dynamics and an explanatory approach that links mechanisms across levels rather than treating them separately.
