This project will start a long term collaboration between the mathematics department and the biology department at the University of Colorado-Boulder. There is a tremendous amount of physiological data on the Mouthner nerve cell that has been collected in the past twenty five years. This project will start the development of a sophisticated mathematical and computational model of this cell that will incorporate the known data. New computational methods will be developed for massively parallel computers to model thedynamics of this nerve cell. It is intended that this project will start a significant program in computational neuroscience that will become an option for the Ph.D. program in neuroscience at the University of Colorado. In addition, the undergraduate research program that this project grew from will continue to engage undergraduates in research in computational neuroscience. This IGMS project is jointly supported by the MPS Office of Multidisciplinary Activities (OMA) and the Division of Mathematical Sciences (DMS).

这个项目将启动科罗拉多大学博尔德分校数学系和生物系之间的长期合作。在过去的25年里，已经收集了大量关于Mouthner神经细胞的生理数据。该项目将开始开发这一单元的复杂数学和计算模型，其中将纳入已知数据。将为大规模并行计算机开发新的计算方法来模拟这种神经细胞的动力学。该项目旨在启动一个重要的计算神经科学项目，该项目将成为科罗拉多大学神经科学博士项目的一个选项。此外，这个项目的本科生研究项目将继续吸引本科生从事计算神经科学的研究。该IGMS项目由重大计划多学科活动办公室(OMA)和数学科学处(DMS)共同支持。
