Friday Paper List- September 20th

I missed the post last week, so this week’s list is really really long! I recommend you try and at least browse the full list because you don’t want to miss some of the goodies mixed up in the large crowd!

But before we get to the list of papers it is definitely worth mentioning the release of the Interim report for the BRAIN project! You can snag the 58 page pdf here or just read about it here. I can’t help but show two of the lists mentioned:

First “themes have already emerged that should become core principles for the NIH BRAIN Initiative” :

1.  Use appropriate experimental system and models
2.  Cross boundaries in interdisciplinary collaborations
3.  Integrate spatial and temporal scales
4.  Establish platforms for sharing data
5.  Validate and disseminate technology
6.  Consider ethical implications of neuroscience research

and second the “nine research areas are identified as high-priority“:

1.  Generate a Census of Cell Types.
2.  Create Structural Maps of the Brain.
3.  Develop New Large-Scale Network Recording Capabilities.
4.  Develop A Suite of Tools for Circuit Manipulation.
5.  Link Neuronal Activity to Behavior.
6.  Integrate Theory, Modeling, Statistics, and Computation with Experimentation.
7. Delineate Mechanisms Underlying Human Imaging Technologies.
8. Create Mechanisms to Enable Collection of Human Data.
9. Disseminate Knowledge and Training.

It makes quite the laundry list.

As another aside before the main paper list, here are two random papers that caught my attention:

Metabolic rate and body size are linked with perception of temporal information Kevin Healy, Luke McNally, Graeme D. Ruxton, Natalie Cooper, Andrew L. Jackson ; Animal Behaviour 2013 (link)

• when reading about this paper I couldn’t help but think about that part in Honey I Shrunk the Kids where the character Nick is worried that when they were shrunk they could be experiencing time smaller as well, so what felt like minutes to them was actually days or even years in the normal sized world 😛

Isolation of a Diatom Frustule Fragment From the Lower Stratosphere (22-27Km)-Evidence For a Cosmic Origin Milton Wainwright, Christopher E. Rose, Alexander J. Baker , Briston, K.J  and N. Chandra Wickramasinghe ; Journal of Cosmology 2013 (link)

• The authors of this paper think their findings give direct evidence for life arriving on earth from outer-space.. no big deal.. just proof that aliens exist… nothing to see here..

Friday Paper List – posted Saturday Sept. 7th

Papers papers papers.

I had some links in a past post about some critiques of optogenetics.

Here is a nice article responding to those recent critiques :

“Why optogenetics deserves the hype” by Kevin Mitchell

In other news there was the official announcement for a collaboration towards the development of a new neural probe. It is getting $5.5 million in funds from a partnership between Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Allen Institute for Brain Science, Gatsby Charitable Foundation,  Wellcome Trust, University College London, and Imec. You can read the statement : here.

Speaking of Imec.. reading about the company lead me to reading about this neat little place: NERF

Finally there was an announcement about an Artificial Intelligence version of the Allen Institute for Brain Science. It sounds pretty neat and you can read about it here.
