CMOR 415: THEORETICAL NEUROSCIENCE
Fall 2026 · Section 001 · CRN 13180
This course presents the theoretical foundations of cellular and systems neuroscience from a quantitative perspective, integrating mathematical modeling, computational tools, and data analysis. Students will develop and apply differential equations, probabilistic models, and reverse correlation techniques to analyze neural activity and synaptic interactions. The course combines traditional lectures with student-led presentations in a seminar-style format. Coursework includes problem sets, coding-based assignments, and group projects. MATLAB or Python proficiency is strongly recommended. Cross-list: ELEC 488 , NEUR 415 . Graduate/Undergraduate Equivalency: CMOR 615 . Recommended Prerequisite(s): This course requires coding in MATLAB or Python. As such, COMP 140 , CMOR 220 or some equivalent coding experience is highly recommended. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for CMOR 415 if student has credit for CMOR 615 .
