This monograph is centred on quantitative analysis of nerve cell behavior. The work is foundational, with many higher order problems still remaining, especially in connection with neural networks. Thoroughly addressed topics include stochastic problems in neurobiology, and the treatment of the theory of related Markov processes.

• Deterministic Theories and Stochastic Phenomena in Neurobiology
• Synaptic Transmission
• Early Stochastic Models for Neuronal Activity including Poisson Processes and Random Walks
• Discontinuous Markov Processes with Exponential Decay
• One dimensional Diffusion Processes
• Stochastic PDEs
• Statistical Analysis of Stochastic Neural Activity
• Channel Noise
• Wiener Kernel Expansions
• Stochastic Activity of Neuronal Populations.
