Biological Neural Networks - Class 1

Explore the fundamentals of biological neural networks in this lecture by Fernanda Selingardi Matias from Universidade Federal de Alagoas, Brazil. This is the first class in a series presented at the ICTP-SAIFR School on Biological Physics and Biomolecular Simulations in the Machine Learning Era, scheduled for April 14-19, 2025. The one-hour session introduces key concepts in understanding how biological neural networks function, combining principles from biology, physics, and computational approaches. Gain insights into neural mechanisms that may inform both biological understanding and machine learning applications.
