Biophysics of Computation - Koch, Christof (Professor of Computation and Neural Systems, Professor of Computation and Neural Systems, California Institute of Technology, USA)

Using experimental and theoretical findings from cellular biophysics, this book explains the computational functions of single neurons. The topics include the linear cable equation; cable theory as applied to passive dendritic trees and dendritic spines; and chemical and electrical synapses and how to treat them from a computational point of view.
