I wanted to add these two links in response to Phillip's comment on the neurotransmission video post:
Computation in the brain - talks more about neural networks and how synapses play a role, synaptic learning, etc.
Hubel and Wiesel videos - beyond the scope of our class and our coverage of cognitive neuroscience, but I wanted to include this if you're interested (and since I mentioned it in my comment reply).

Just wanted to mention that I am the TA for EE373A/B which are courses on Adaptive Signal Processing and Adaptive Neural Networks offered by the EE department (in winter/spring) and taught by Professor Bernard Widrow.
Bernard Widrow is one of the godfathers of neural networks. He invented the Adaline, about the same time as Frank Rosenblatt invented the Perceptron, both of which are mathematical models of a single neuron. Bernard is my thesis advisor and our research group is working on modeling human memory (Cognitive Memory) using neural networks.
For those of you who are interested, in the EE373B webpage, under the Reading Material and Projects links, there are some materials on Cognitive Memory and other related topics.
Also, there is a book called Eye, Brain, and Vision by David H. Hubel. It's written for people with next to no background in the biological sciences and I found it quite easy to read. It's available at the Mathematics and Computer Sciences library and the Lane Medical Library.
Deep, thanks for your comments! It'd be great to hear more about your research in class, especially this week as we're discussing various aspects of memory.
