The research group for computational neuroscience has developed mathematical models of neurons and neuronal networks for over twenty years, with the primary aim of understanding the information processing and computational aspects.
The group consists of about 15 persons, most of whom are doing their research in close collaborations with neurophysiologists and other biologists.
The models used range from kinetic models of biochemical networks involved in synaptic plasticity, via membrane current based models as a basis for cortical network activity, to neuro-mechanical models of swimming and walking.
The group is a partner of the Stockholm Brain Institute which is a newly formed centre for coordinating brain research activities in the Stockholm area.
The group has extensive experience with simulator development and are currently holding the inofficial world record in largest compartment based network simulation with a model corresponding in size to a substantial part of the mouse cortex.
Such simulations require supercomputing power and the group has access to the supercomputers of the Parallel Computing Centre at KTH.
In particular, a IBM Blue Gene/L computer has been installed specifically for these kinds of simulations.
