Specifically, it discusses models that span different brain regions (hippocampus, amygdala, basal ganglia, visual cortex), different species (humans, rats, fruit flies), and different modeling methods (neural network, Bayesian, reinforcement learning, data fitting, and Hodgkin-Huxley models, among others).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eComputational Models of Brain and Behavior\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into four sections: (a) Models of brain disorders; (b) Neural models of behavioral processes; (c) Models of neural processes, brain regions and neurotransmitters, and (d) Neural modeling approaches. It provides in-depth coverage of models of psychiatric disorders, including depression, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, and dyslexia; models of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy; early sensory and perceptual processes; models of olfaction; higher\/systems level models and low-level models; Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning; linking information theory to neurobiology; and more.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers computational approximations to intellectual disability in down syndrome\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses computational models of pharmacological and immunological treatment in Alzheimer's disease\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines neural circuit models of serotonergic system (from microcircuits to cognition)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEducates on information theory, memory, prediction, and timing in associative learning \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eComputational Models of Brain and Behavior\u003c\/i\u003e is written for advanced undergraduate, Master's and PhD-level students—as well as researchers involved in computational neuroscience modeling research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e DR.
