Description
Summary:This review discusses fundamental concepts in computationalneuroscience and it presents applications of the computational modelconstruction in clinical problems in neurology and neuropsychology.The text presents basic processes involved in the elaboration ofcomputational models in neurosciences and it exhibits recent worksin epilepsy and cognition showing the importance of the use ofcomputational methods to study clinical problems in neuroscienceto test hypothesis about possible physiological mechanisms involvedin diseases of the nervous system.
