Ay's Neuroanatomy of C. Elegans for Computation (ePub)

Theodore B. Achacoso, M.D. (born 1961, Iba, Zambales, Philippines) received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of the Philippines - Diliman at the age of 18, and his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of the Philippines - Manila at the age of 22. After medical internship at the Philippine General Hospital, Dr. Achacoso trained and researched in neuroscience, particularly in computer-assisted neuroimaging, and in pharmacology, particularly in fertility regulation. He was Clinical Assistant Professor of Neurology and Science Research Specialist of Pharmacology at the College of Medicine of the University of the Philippines - Manila when he came to the United States as Visiting Assistant Professor of Medical Informatics at the Department of Computer Medicine of The George Washington University (Washington, D.C.) in 1988., In the United States, Dr. Achacoso has taught, pursued research, and published in medical computation and imaging, in theoretical and computational neurobiology, and in biomathematical modeling and reverse engineering of the Caenorhabditis elegans nervous system. He introduced the terms artificial ethology and computational neuroethology, represented the synaptic and electrotonic connections of the C. elegans nervous system into matrix form, and investigated properties of this natural neural network. Dr. Achacoso is with the faculty of the Department of Computer Medicine of The George Washington University School of Medicine., William S. Yamamoto, M.D. (born 1924, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.) received his A.B. degree in Chemistry from Park College, Parkville, MO in 1945, and his Doctor of Medicine and Master of Science (Hon.) degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia in 1949 and 1971, respectively. Dr. Yamamoto is a respiratory physiologist, and has taught physiology, biomathematics, biomedical engineering, statistics, and related medical subjects at the University of Pennsylvania, UCLA, and The George
