Friday Paper Post – Posted Thursday May 21st

That time of the year again. The birthday of the man himself :

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:

1) Equalizing excitation–inhibition ratios across visual cortical neurons Mingshan Xue, Bassam V. Atallah & Massimo Scanziani ; Nature 2014 (link)

4) Grid cells and cortical representation Edvard I. Moser, Yasser Roudi, Menno P. Witter, Clifford Kentros, Tobias Bonhoeffer & May-Britt Moser ; Nature Reviews Neuroscience (link)

•  I really enjoyed this review. 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.

I’m sure I’ll write something / comment more on the recent Nobel Prize awards.. but doesn’t it feel a bit like Head Direction cells might have gotten the shaft when it comes to Place Cells/ Grid Cells/ Head Direction cells story?

• 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 – Posted Monday March 31st 2014

I had the opportunity to hear Josh Vogelstein (the first author of paper #1 below) give an awesome talk about big data and neuroscience at a meeting a few years ago and I really enjoyed it! Josh works in the Department of Statistical Science at Duke University and serves as a pleasant reminder of how important statistics are for science in general and especially for neuroscience moving forward. #20 and the paired blog post follow the same theme of statistics in neuroscience.

#3 talks about some problems in big data and the old computer science saying, “Garbage in, garbage out“. It’s kind of interesting to think about how this applies to neuroscience, if at all… but I’ll save my random thoughts for myself.
