New Paper:

Development of Nerve Connections under the Control

Abstract
--------

We show that a recently formulated model of axonal competition can be
rewritten as a general consumer-resource system. 
This allows neurobiological phenomena to be interpreted in population
biological terms and, conversely, results from population biology 
(where competition is better understood) to be applied to neurobiology. 
Using findings from population biology, we study two extensions of our
axonal competition model. In the first extension, the spatial dimension 
of the target is explicitly taken into account. We show that distance
between axons on their target mitigates competition and permits the
coexistence of axons. The model can account for the fact that, in many
types of neurons, a positive 
correlation exists between the size of the dendritic tree and the number 
of innervating axons surviving into adulthood. In the second extension,
axons
are allowed to respond to more than one neurotrophic factor. We show
that
this permits competitive exclusion within one type of axons, while at
the 
same time there is coexistence with a different type of axons
innervating 
the same target. The model offers an explanation for the innervation
pattern 
found on cerebellar Purkinje cells, where climbing fibres compete with
each
other until only a single one remains, which coexists with parallel
fibre
input to the same Purkinje cell.

This posting is to introduce readers to my web site
http://freespace.virgin.net/john.hewitt1/  "A Habit of Lies - How Scientists
Cheat."

The scientists in question include include some very senior figures.  The
subject area is cell biology, particularly motility of eukaryotic cells.
In particular, it concerns the physical processes that drive cell movement
and cell surface dynamics.  This is a large field with implications for many
areas of cell biology but
readers will realise that my work is not a proestablishment document.

Should readers know other newsgroups or media, which might have a suitable
audience, do please tell me about it.

I would very much welcome comments about the site itself, especially from
anyone
who could, with authority, challenge my assertions, but I will not be
routinely browsing this discussion group.  If you post a response, please
copy your comments to me by E-mail, mentioning the group.  That way, you
will be sure I will read it and can reply to you.

Sincerely Yours

I never heard about that, but looking at the name, I would guess that it
works like this:

- In CD experiments, one measures the difference in absorption of right-
and left-handed circular polarized light. One needs quite a lot of
material, because you need a concentration where you get considerable
absorption (e.g. 0.5 to several mg/ml with proteins in the near UV
region).
- Since Fluorescence intensity is dependent on the quantum yield _and_
the absorption coefficient, it should be possible to detect differences
in absorption coefficients for circular polarized light by fluorescence:

Excite the sample with a short pulse of one polarization and measure the
fluorescence; after the fluorescence intensity has dropped to the
baseline, reverse the direction of polarization and excite again with a
short pulse, measure again. The fluorescence intensity should reflect
the CD signal, as long as you get enough fluorescence.

Two possible applications are coming to my mind:
- Measure CD at "fluorescence concentrations" (0.01 mg/ml or below for
proteins)
- Measure CD of a protein in the presence of an extent of nucleic acid
(which also has a CD signal, but no fluorescence).


Yours, Frank

Dear Gregor,

Though I am not an expert on the field, I think I can help you. As you
probably know, in normal CD we measure the difference in absorption by
letting the clockwise and counter-clockwise circularly polarized light
go through our sample, and determining how much of the each is absorbed
by detecting how much of it came through.

In fluorescence detected circular dichroism the molecule/chromophore 
of interest has to be a fluorescent one. Again, the molecule will absorb
the clockwise and counter-clockwise circularly polarized light 
differently. However, instead of measuring how much of the light was
absorbed, we measure the emission intensity of the molecule. Since the
intensity of the emission is proportional to the amount of light absorbed
and since the quantum yield is not dependent on the polarization of the
light absorbed, we can measure the circular dichroism of the absorption by
exciting our molecule first with light of one polarization, and then with
light of the other polarization, and by measuring the emission intensity
in both cases. I am not aware of any internet source, but I can give a
nice reference:

I have a structure where I want to insert a small electrode. The preferable
electrode is Ag/AgCl (I guess, since everybody doing electrophysiology is
using that). However, the amount of current I have to draw will make the
AgCl deposit rather big compared to the structure and then I am afraid that
the depletion zone will exend to deep into the bulk solution. I thought that
I might use a Pt electrode but that changes the pH with several logs (with
the current I need and the volume of solution I have).

Do you have any suggestions for an electrode suited for small structures
(micrometer scale).

Cheers,
Lars Thomsen

Hi.

I heve never done this. Still I suggest you try to insert a glass patch or normal electrophysiology pipet (but pulled longer but thicker) and use pressure to infuse the saline or whatever you want. You could not insert it trough the skin and you would certainly have to
performe microsurgery (skin incision, etc) and work under a microscope. Good luck.

Report: Plastic surgeons are stumped by an accidental discovery that cutting
the muscles used to create the wrinkles associated with a frown stops
migraines.

Comment:
It is well know in psychology that a smile will reduce depression even if
the smile is forced by biting a pencil.
It makes logical sense that muscles that are related to migraines that can
not be activated and can not provide confirmation of a painful frown from a
migraine would reduce or control migraines.

The underlying reason in my opinion is the brain processes inform and stores
it as correlational opponent wavelet filter which interacts with a stimulus
wavelet.  It does this through associational reciprocal inhibition and is
highly sensitive to the weighted experiences of the past.  By cutting the
muscles this shift the processing of current information away from the area
of the brain where high neural interaction associated with migraines would
be stored (technically speaking it is not stored there because it is
holographic).  Using the same logic, one could use plastic surgery to
tighten the same muscles so that a frown was always present.  This should
cause an increase in migraines.   If this was done and the muscles were cut
later the pain reduction from migraines should be significantly higher.

A friend who suffers migraines tells me that she heard botulism injections are also being touted as a mirgraine cure.  If the botulism injections temporarily paralyze the nerves in the muscles that produce frowns (is this indeed what happens?), then it appears to be a less drastic way to arrive at the same conclusion.  The downside is that the injections are temporary in nature and relatively expensive for a long-term treatment.  The upside is that they are a temporary fix and be stopped at any time.  Anyone ever heard of this?

This interdisciplinary conference has drawn about 300 people from around
the world each time that it has been offered. Last year's conference was
attended by scientists from 28 countries. The conference is structured to
facilitate intense communication between its participants, both in the
formal sessions and during its other activities. As during previous years,
the conference will focus on solutions to the fundamental questions:

How Does the Brain Control Behavior?

How Can Technology Emulate Biological Intelligence?

The conference will include invited tutorials and lectures, and
contributed lectures and posters by experts on the biology and
technology of how the brain and other intelligent systems adapt to 
a changing world. The conference is aimed at researchers and students 
of computational neuroscience, connectionist cognitive science,
artificial neural networks, neuromorphic engineering, and artificial
intelligence.

A single oral or poster session enables all presented work to be
highly visible.

Abstract submissions encourage submissions of the latest results.

Costs are kept at a minimum without compromising the quality of
meeting handouts and social events.

Description of the CNS Department:

The Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems (CNS) provides advanced
training and research experience for graduate students interested in
the neural and computational principles, mechanisms, and
architectures that underlie human and animal behavior, and the
application of neural network architectures to the solution of
outstanding technological problems. Students are trained in a broad
range of areas concerning computational neuroscience, cognitive
science, and neuromorphic systems, including the brain mechanisms of
vision and visual object recognition; audition, speech, and language
understanding; recognition, learning, categorization, and long-term
memory; cognitive information processing; self-organization and
development; navigation, planning, and spatial orientation;
cooperative and competitive network dynamics and short-term memory;
reinforcement and motivation; attention; adaptive sensory-motor
control and robotics; biological rhythms; consciousness; mental
disorders; and the mathematical and computational methods needed to
support advanced modeling research and applications. The CNS
Department awards MA, PhD, and BA/MA degrees.

The CNS Department embodies a number of unique features. It has
developed a curriculum that consists of eighteen interdisciplinary
graduate courses, each of which integrates the psychological,
neurobiological, mathematical, and computational information needed
to theoretically investigate fundamental issues concerning mind and
brain processes and the applications of neural networks to
technology. Additional advanced courses, including research
apprenticeship and seminar courses, are also offered. Each course is
typically taught once a week in the afternoon or evening to make the
program available to qualified students, including working
professionals, throughout the Boston area. Students develop a
coherent area of expertise by designing a program that includes
courses in areas such as biology, computer science, engineering,
mathematics, and psychology, in addition to courses in the CNS
curriculum.

The CNS Department interacts with colleagues in several Boston
University research centers or groups, and with Boston-area
scientists collaborating with these centers. The unit most closely
linked to the department is the Center for Adaptive Systems.
Students interested in neural network hardware can work with
researchers in CNS, at the College of Engineering, and at M.I.T.
Lincoln Laboratory. Other research resources include distinguished
research groups in neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neuropharmacology
across the Boston University Charles River Campus and Medical School;
in sensory robotics, biomedical engineering, computer and systems
engineering, and neuromuscular research within the College of
Engineering; in dynamical systems within the Mathematics Department;
in theoretical computer science within the Computer Science
Department; and in biophysics and computational physics within the
Physics Department. Key colleagues in these units hold appointments
in CNS.

In addition to its basic research and training program, the
department conducts a seminar series, as well as conferences and
symposia, which bring together distinguished scientists from both
experimental, theoretical, and applied disciplines.

The department is housed in its own four-story building which
includes ample space for faculty and student offices and laboratories
(computational neuroscience, visual psychophysics, psychoacoustics,
speech and language, sensory-motor control, neurobotics, computer
vision), as well as an auditorium, classroom and seminar rooms, a
library, and a faculty-student lounge. The department has a powerful
computer network for carrying out large-scale simulations of
behavioral and brain models.

Below are listed departmental faculty, courses and labs.

CNS students also take a wide variety of courses in related departments.
In addition, students participate in a weekly colloquium series, an informal
lecture series, and student-run special interest groups, and attend lectures
and meetings throughout the Boston area; and advanced students work in small
research groups.


LABORATORY AND COMPUTER FACILITIES

The department is funded by fellowships, grants, and contracts from federal
agencies and private foundations that support research in life sciences,
mathematics, artificial intelligence, and engineering. Facilities include
laboratories for experimental research and computational modeling in
visual perception; audition, speech and language processing; and
sensory-motor control and robotics. Data analysis and numerical
simulations are carried out on a state-of-the-art computer network
comprised of Sun workstations, Silicon Graphics workstations, Macintoshes,
and PCs.  A PC farm running Linux operating systems is available as a
distributed computational environment.  All students have access to
X-terminals or UNIX workstation consoles, a selection of color systems and
PCs, a network of SGI machines, and standard modeling and mathematical
simulation packages such as Mathematica, VisSim, Khoros, and Matlab.

The department maintains a core collection of books and journals, and has
access both to the Boston University libraries and to the many other
collections of the Boston Library Consortium.

In addition, several specialized facilities and software are available for
use. These include:

Computer Vision/Computational Neuroscience Laboratory
The Computer Vision/Computational Neuroscience Lab is comprised of an
electronics workshop, including a surface-mount workstation, PCD
fabrication tools, and an Alterra EPLD design system; a light machine
shop; an active vision lab including actuators and video hardware; and
systems for computer aided neuroanatomy and application of computer
graphics and image processing to brain sections and MRI images.

Neurobotics Laboratory
The Neurobotics Lab utilizes wheeled mobile robots to study potential
applications of neural networks in several areas, including adaptive
dynamics and kinematics, obstacle avoidance, path planning and navigation,
visual object recognition, and conditioning and motivation. The lab
currently has three Pioneer robots equipped with sonar and visual sensors;
one B-14 robot with a moveable camera, sonars, infrared, and bump sensors;
and two Khepera miniature robots with infrared proximity detectors. Other
platforms may be investigated in the future.

Psychoacoustics Laboratory
The Psychoacoustics Lab houses a newly installed, 8 ft. x 8 ft. sound-proof
booth. The laboratory is  extensively equipped to perform both traditional
psychoacoustic experiments and experiments using interactive auditory
virtual-reality stimuli. The major equipment dedicated to the
psychoacoustics laboratory includes two Pentium-based personal computers;
two Power-PC-based Macintosh computers; a 50-MHz array processor capable
of generating auditory stimuli in real time; programmable attenuators;
analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters; a real-time head
tracking system; a special-purpose, signal-processing hardware system
capable of generating "spatialized" stereo auditory signals in real time;
a two-channel oscilloscope; a two-channel spectrum analyzer; various
cables, headphones, and other miscellaneous electronics equipment; and
software for signal generation, experimental control, data analysis, and
word processing.

Sensory-Motor Control Laboratory
The Sensory-Motor Control Lab supports experimental studies of motor
kinematics. An infrared WatSmart system allows measurement of large-scale
movements, and a pressure-sensitive graphics tablet allows studies of
handwriting and other fine-scale movements. Equipment includes a 40-inch
monitor that allows computer display of animations generated by an SGI
workstation or a Pentium Pro (Windows NT) workstation. A second major
component is a helmet-mounted, video-based, eye-head tracking system
(ISCAN Corp, 1997). The latter's camera samples eye position at 240Hz and
also allows reconstruction of what subjects are attending to as they
freely scan a scene under normal lighting. Thus the system affords a wide
range of visuo-motor studies.

Speech and Language Laboratory
The Speech and Language Lab includes facilities for analog-to-digital and
digital-to-analog software conversion. Ariel equipment allows reliable
synthesis and playback of speech waveforms. An Entropic signal processing
package provides facilities for detailed analysis, filtering, spectral
construction, and formant tracking of the speech waveform. Various large
databases, such as TIMIT and TIdigits, are available for testing
algorithms of speech recognition.  For high speed processing,
supercomputer facilities speed filtering and data analysis.

Visual Psychophysics Laboratory
The Visual Psychophysics Lab occupies an 800-square-foot suite, including
three dedicated rooms for data collection, and houses a variety of
computer controlled display platforms, including Silicon Graphics, Inc.
(SGI) Onyx RE2, SGI Indigo2 High Impact, SGI Indigo2 Extreme, Power
Computing (Macintosh compatible) PowerTower Pro 225, and Macintosh 7100/66
workstations. Ancillary resources for visual psychophysics include a
computer-controlled video camera, stereo viewing glasses, prisms, a
photometer, and a variety of display-generation, data-collection, and
data-analysis software.

Affiliated Laboratories
Affiliated CAS/CNS faculty have additional laboratories ranging from visual
and auditory psychophysics and neurophysiology, anatomy, and
neuropsychology to engineering and chip design. These facilities are used
in the context of faculty/student collaborations.
