OVERVIEW :

This workshop provides insights into the multifaceted benefits of computational modeling and how it can be used in epilepsy research.  

Whether you have a channel mutation or a cell-type specific dysfunction you want to put in context, whether you are completely new to the field of computational modeling or have prior experience—this workshop is for you. Presenters demonstrate how participants can start leveraging computational Modeling in their own research.  

This skills workshop showcases: 

  1. Single cell modeling 
  2. Network modeling of seizures 
  3. Large scale, biologically constrained, models 

Learning Objectives:

Following participation in this activity, participants will be able to: 

  • Recognize selected applications of single neuron modeling, and identify resources for getting started  
  • Recognize selected applications of network modeling, and learn about the resources for getting started with such modeling 
  • Recognize selected applications of large scale, biologically constrained, network models, and gain the resources for getting started
