This document provides an overview of computational neuroscience topics including neural encoding and decoding models, mechanical models of brain cells, neuron doctrine, ion channels and synaptic transmission. Key points covered are: neural encoding uses linear filters and input/output functions, receptive fields are sensory areas that produce strong neural responses, neurons are leaky bags of charged liquid, ion pumps and different channel types (mechanical, voltage, chemical) modulate neural polarization and spikes, myelin sheaths enable long-range spike communication, synapses can be excitatory or inhibitory and involve neurotransmitters modifying postsynaptic potentials, and synaptic plasticity underlies memory and learning. Major brain regions and their functions are also listed.
A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next. Neurons are cells that transmit information between your brain and other parts of the central nervous system. Synapses are found where neurons connect with other neurons.
Synapses are key to the brain's function, especially when it comes to memory.Synapses connect neurons and help transmit information from one neuron to the next. When a nerve signal reaches the end of the neuron, it cannot simply continue to the next cell. Instead, it must trigger the release of neurotransmitters which can then carry the impulse across the synapse to the next neuron.
Once a nerve impulse has triggered the release of neurotransmitters, these chemical messengers cross the tiny synaptic gap and are taken up by receptors on the surface of the next cell.
These receptors act much like a lock, while the neurotransmitters function much like keys. Neurotransmitters may excite or inhibit the neuron they bind to Synapses are composed of three main parts:
The presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters
The synaptic cleft between the two nerve cells
The postsynaptic ending that contains receptor sites
An electrical impulse travels down the axon of a neuron and then triggers the release of tiny vesicles containing neurotransmitters. These vesicles will then bind to the membrane of the presynaptic cell, releasing the neurotransmitters into the synapse.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

12. Functions of the channel
● Depolarization
● Hyperpolarization
To be hammered strongly:
Only strong Depolarization can get the spikes to be loaded
13. Myelin sheath
Oligendrocytes or the glial cells wrap axons and enables long range spike
communication.
Node of RANVIER(Saltatory conduction)
14. Synapse
Synapse can be excitatory or inhibitory
Examples of the excitatory synapse:
● Input spike
● Glutamate binds to ion channel receptors
● Na+ flux
● Depolarization due to the excitatory postsynaptic potential
15. The Synapse Doctrine
● Synapse is a basis for memory and learning
● Hebbian synaptic plasticity
● Long term potential are being observed for days and weeks in terms of
strength
● Long term depression is observed as a decrease in the strength of the
synaptic strength
16. Major Brain Regions
● Medulla oblongata: Involuntary actions
● Pons:sleep and the arousal
● Cerebellum Vision,control
● REticular formation:Modulates brain reflexes and the otheractivity like
pain,perception.
