This course covers the fundamentals of computational models of neural systems. Have there been large advances in e.g. hippocampal modeling or core changes in what we know about brain structures and processes in the past decade?

Hey if you see the course website is from 2015. And this is a bit of an older course, so I think it's understandable.

I think the surprising thing is such a high quality resource was being put together so long ago :-)
