- The student can use thermodynamical principles to analyse the electrochemical equilibrium of ions across a semipermeable membrane and calculate the equilibrium potential
- The student can derive and analyse the passive and active properties of the nerve cell and dendrites
- The student can analyse the properties of the Integrate-and-fire neuron, Hodgkin-Huxley and reduced models
- The student can use phase-plane analysis, dimensionality reduction and basic tools from dynamical systems theory
