Computational Neuroscience Models of the Basal Ganglia

This book is a comprehensive compendium of computational models of the basal ganglia, presenting the key existent theories of basal ganglia function. It covers computational models of basal ganglia-related disorders including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and addiction.

The book highlights the applications of understanding the role of the basal ganglia in treating neurological and psychiatric disorders, expanding on foundational work in the field by providing a thorough overview of computational models across motor, cognitive, affective, and autonomic domains.

It caters to researchers and academics in computational cognitive neuroscience, with chapters covering dopamine, serotonin, deep brain stimulation, action selection, reinforcement learning, and oscillatory dynamics in healthy and Parkinsonian conditions.
