Computational neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field which draws on Neuroscience , Computer Science , and Applied Mathematics . It most often uses mathematical and computational techniques such as computer Simulation s and Mathematical Model s to understand the function of the Nervous System . The field of computational neuroscience began with the work of Andrew Huxley , Alan Hodgkin , and David Marr . The results of Hodgkin and Huxley's pioneering work in developing the voltage clamp allowed them to develop the first mathematical model of the Action Potential . David Marr's work focuses on the interactions between neurons, suggesting computational approaches to the study of how functional groups of neurons within the hippocampus and neocortex interact, store, process, and transmit information.
