By adjusting synaptic and postsynaptic membrane properties and designing the connections of these networks, you gain an understanding and appreciation for the fundamental processes that underlie the workings of nervous systems, and allow them to perform the calculations necessary for the myriad complex processes of life, from sensation to behavior to cognition.\x3c/span\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cstrong\x3eKey Concepts\x3c/strong\x3e: Circuits; Neurotransmitters; Passive properties; Synapses\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cstrong\x3eCourses\x3c/strong\x3e: Neurobiology\x3cbr/\x3e\n          \x3cbr/\x3e\x3ca href=\"/search_result_details/brief/230\" class=\"node_brief\"\x3eRead less\x3c/a\x3e        \x3cbr/\x3e  \x3c/span\x3e \x3c!-- description --\x3e\n" }
