Neurodynamics is a multi-disciplinary research area in nonlinear dynamics, network science and neuroscience.Synchronization is of great importance for signal encoding and transduction in information processing of neurons in two respects.Biological neurons can extract the hindered information by stochastic resonance.7/31/202456 Neural Medicine and Engineering Neuronal firing and information encoding Biological ControlBiological complex neuronal networksIntelligent RobotsBiological structure of nervous systems Neural Cognitive ScienceNeural ComputersNeural Medical Techniques7/31/20246Structure of Single Neuron A basic element for information processing in nervous systems.There are about 1011 neurons in the human brain and 104 synapses for a neuron.7/31/20247Model of neuron (1) (4) (3) (2) Hodgkin A.
