Abstract:
During the last decade there has been a great revival of interest in neural modelling. Powerful new computational methods have resulted from work in this area and are being applied to an increasing range of medical problems. This paper briefly explains the nature of a neural model and then reviews work in neural computation involving problems in medical informatics (e.g. expert systems) and modelling of psychiatric and neurological phenomena. The state of the art is assessed, and speculation about future developments is given.

The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation
Sometimes a single EPSP is strong enough to induce an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. However, multiple presynaptic inputs must often create EPSPs around the same time for the postsynaptic neuron to be sufficiently depolarized to fire an action potential.
