About this title

Synopsis

This book demonstrates the power of mathematical thinking in understanding the biological complexity that exists within the brain. It looks at the latest research on modelling of biochemical pathways within synapses, and provides a clear background for the study of mathematical models related to systems biology. Discussion then focusses on developments in computational models based on networks linked to synaptic plasticity. The models are used to understand memory formation and impairment and they provide a mathematical basis for memory research.

Computational Systems Biology of Synaptic Plasticity is a valuable source of knowledge to postgraduate students and researchers in computational systems biology, and as a reference book for various techniques that are needed in modelling biological processes.

Readership: Postgraduate students and researchers in computational systems biology, and as a reference book for various techniques that are needed in modelling biological processes.

About the Author

Professor Don Kulasiri obtained his PhD related to Bioengineering from Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, USA. He had been a visiting academic to Stanford University, Princeton University, USA, and has been visiting Wolfson Centre for Mathematical Biology, Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, UK, regularly since 2008. He is the professor of Computational Modelling and Systems Biology, a personal Chair, at Lincoln University, Christchurch, New Zealand since 1999. He founded and directs the Centre for Advanced Computational Solutions (C-fACS) at Lincoln since 1999. He is a fellow of the Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand (MSSANZ).

Dr Yao He obtained his PhD in Computational Systems Biology at Lincoln University, New Zealand, and he also has Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from University of Canterbury, New Zealand. He has been engaged in systems biology research since 2010, and works as a research scientist in the Centre for Advanced Computational Solutions (C-fACS). His expertise is on modelling the mechanisms of synaptic plasticity, parameter sensitivity analysis and stochastic modelling. His current research focuses on understanding the linkage between presynaptic release and postsynaptic plasticity using stochastic modelling.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
