Know about the book -

Fundamentals of Computational Neuroscience is written by Thomas Trappenberg and published by Oxford University Press (UK). It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0199568413 (ISBN 10) and 9780199568413 (ISBN 13).

The new edition of Fundamentals of Computational Neuroscience build on the success and strengths of the first edition. It introduces the theoretical foundations of neuroscience with a focus on the nature of information processing in the brain. The book covers the introduction and motivation of simplified models of neurons that are suitable for exploring information processing in large brain-like networks. Additionally, it introduces several fundamental networkarchitectures and discusses their relevance for information processing in the brain, giving some examples of models of higher-order cognitive functions to demonstrate the advanced insight that can begained with such studies.
