Research Interests
The long-range goal of Dr. Yılmaz is to uncover linking principles from a single computational unit (neuron) of
brain to behavior using computational models. This goal is being pursued with a combination of theoretical and
experimental approaches at several levels of investigation ranging from the biophysical single neuron level to
the network and systems level. Biophysical models of electrical and chemical signal processing within neurons
are used as an adjunct to physiological experiments. The central issues being addressed are how dendrites integrate synaptic signals in neurons, how networks of neurons generate dynamical patterns of activity, how sensory
information is represented in the cerebral cortex.
