Introduction to Computational Neuroscience
NU Campus
Nile University’s School of Biotechnology is excited to host an in-depth seminar featuring Dr. Mohamed Sherif, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University, USA. With a background in psychiatry and computational neuroscience, Dr. Sherif is a distinguished researcher dedicated to understanding the brain's intricate dynamics in psychiatric disorders such as depression. His research integrates cutting-edge computational neuroscience with clinical psychiatry, offering new insights into complex mental illnesses.
In this seminar, Dr. Sherif will delve into the role of I—a field that uses computer models to study the brain’s complexity and its various levels of interaction. By creating models that simulate brain regions, researchers can better understand the mechanisms behind psychiatric disorders and identify potential treatment pathways. Dr. Sherif will focus on how these models are applied to depression; a condition deeply linked to changes in brain dynamics.
