Friday Paper Post – Sunday October 12th

Wow…. So summer happened… and more.

Very behind on posting. So far behind that my folders of papers resemble the picture on the top of the blog.

The only possible way to even attempt to get caught up is going to involve breaking these papers down into months missed. Otherwise this post would be over 100 papers long.

Many good papers and exciting developments over the past few months as well. Hopefully I will get a chance to comment on them.

Some papers from June below:

For some silly reason I tend to characterize grid cells as a lower level phenomenon- like simple receptive fields in V1 – I guess because I think of how grid fields could be some sort of fundamental unit used to build up a more complex thing.. ..but of course this is a big mistake on my part. I appreciated the reminder that grid fields are located in what would be considered higher order areas of the cortical hierarchy.

• Aright, so I want to make sure I am clear on where things are now…
• We have the entire connectome of C. Elegans mapped out..
• …and now we also have the ability to image every single neuron simultaneously (yes I know it’s calcium imaging….so not every single spike exactly… but pretty close)
• So now with the full connectome and functional readout we should be able to figure it all out right? I mean it’s that easy right? There is always whining that we need one or the other to truly understand the full story.. but now we’ve got both! No more excuses! I want to know how the C. Elegans brain works already.

• Also after following a reader’s twitter (who shared the wonderful ferret spiral move above and whose own blog you can read here) I was lucky enough to be lead to this blog post from Bill Skaggs here.
• What I really like about the blog post is the back and forth in the commentary from Dr. Skaggs and the first author of the Science paper. I wish there was more scientific discussion like this online. It would be kind of cool if every paper had a comments section! Ok…. with the way the internet and comments sections usually turn out….maybe not … but I can dream.

Friday Paper Post – March 14th 2014

Is winter over yet?

I wanted to share a couple non-paper links I found interesting recently. The first few are depressing…

Here is an interview with Sydner Brenner by Elizabeth Dzeng that turns into a sharp commentary on the state of science.

Scientific funding is in a scary place right now. You can read some of the details at this post titled: The Impact of the sequester: 1,000 fewer funded investigators by Jeremy Berg.

Finally check out this blog post here by Lenny Teytelman, which gives a more personal account of how tough things are. I think it is well worth the read.

So… anyway… these are all sad / scary / depressing / grim things…. but I am very happy to link to this last post here from the PubPeer blog! I think I have mentioned before that I have strong feelings about the state of the scientific publishing system (broken, slow, costly, and kind of embarrassing considering there is this thing now called the internet.. maybe you’ve heard of it?). So I think this blog post is really an exciting step forward! There is hope for the future!!!
