The Computational Neuroscience Center within Drexel's Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy unites computational and experimental scientists focused on deciphering nervous system operations. Center collaborators engage in joint multidisciplinary research that integrates computational approaches with laboratory investigations, under the leadership of Dr. Ilya Rybak as the Center's director.
A fundamental goal of Neuroscience involves unraveling how neural networks process information and regulate behavior. Computational neuroscience enhances experimental research by developing analytical frameworks to formulate hypotheses, design experimental validations, and reveal fundamental operational principles.
As modern experimental techniques produce increasingly complex and voluminous datasets, computational modeling becomes essential for organizing information, extracting meaning from data, and ultimately understanding neuronal mechanisms, circuit functions, and their behavioral manifestations.
