معرفی
Mark Goldman is a Professor in the Department of Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on computational neuroscience, neuroengineering, and the study of neural circuits underlying memory, learning, and sensorimotor control. He is affiliated with the Center for Neuroscience and the Ophthalmology and Vision Science program. His work integrates mathematical modeling with experimental data to understand neural mechanisms in systems such as the cerebellum, oculomotor systems, and reinforcement learning circuits.
Key research themes include synaptic plasticity rules, dynamics of neural circuits during memory consolidation, and the interplay between circuit architecture and adaptive behavior. Recent studies explore closed-loop systems, oscillatory mechanisms in short-term memory, and context-dependent neural control. His computational frameworks bridge theoretical neuroscience with experimental observations in both vertebrate and microbial systems.
Goldman has contributed to education through innovative course-based research programs combining microbial biology with mathematical modeling. His publications reflect a deep engagement with interdisciplinary methods, including systems theory, machine learning, and biophysical modeling.
