Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, 2009 The NEURON simulation program now allows Python to be used, alone or in combination with NEURON's traditional Hoc interpreter. Adding Python to NEURON has the immediate benefit of making available a very extensive suite of analysis tools written for engineering and science.

Opinion: more mouse models and more translation needed for ALS
Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2023 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a complex disorder most of which is ‘sporadic’ of unknown origin but approximately 10% is familial, arising from single mutations in any of more than 30 genes.

Ascending noradrenergic excitation from the locus coeruleus to the anterior cingulate cortex
Molecular Brain, 2020 Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) plays important roles in sensory perception including pain and itch. Neurons in the ACC receive various neuromodulatory inputs from subcortical structures, including locus coeruleus noradrenaline (LC-NA) neurons.

Molecular Brain, 2023 Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a key cellular mechanism for learning and memory, and recent studies in the hippocampus found that LTP was impaired in aged animals. Previous studies of cortical LTP have focused primarily on the homosynaptic plasticity in

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Creativity generates novel solutions to tasks by processing information. Imagination and mental representations are part of the creative process; we can mull over ideas of our own making, and construct algorithms or scenarios from them. Social scenario-building can be viewed as a human cognitive “super-power” that involves abstraction, meta ...

Converging Mechanisms of p53 Activation Drive Motor Neuron Degeneration in Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Cell Reports, 2017 The hallmark of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), an inherited disease caused by ubiquitous deficiency in the SMN protein, is the selective degeneration of subsets of spinal motor neurons.
