Interoperability of neuroscience modeling software: current status and future directions.

2007-04-23T10:39:41Z

Neuroscience increasingly uses computational models to assist in the exploration and interpretation of complex phenomena. As a result, considerable effort is invested in the development of software tools and technologies for numerical simulations and for the creation and publication of models. The diversity of related tools leads to the duplication of effort and hinders model reuse. Development pr...

Enhancing documents with annotations and machine-readable structured information using Notate

2007-04-23T10:38:49Z

Textensor Limited is developing tools for improving the communication and exploitation of text based information. Our main product, Notate, is a web based system that enables authors and readers to layer structured annotations on top of documents so that the resulting combination can be reliably processed automatically while maintaining the integrity of the original source and the provenance of a...

The ion channel inverse problem: neuroinformatics meets biophysics.

2007-05-15T17:24:24Z

Ion channels are the building blocks of the information processing capability of neurons: any realistic computational model of a neuron must include reliable and effective ion channel components. Sophisticated statistical and computational tools have been developed to study the ion channel structure-function relationship, but this work is rarely incorporated into the models used for single neurons...

From biophysics to behavior: Catacomb2 and the design of biologically-plausible models for spatial navigation.

2007-04-23T10:50:25Z

A variety of approaches are available for using computational models to help understand neural processes over many levels of description, from sub-cellular processes to behavior. Alongside purely deductive bottom-up or top-down modeling, a systems design strategy has the advantage of providing a clear goal for the behavior of a complex model. The order in which biological details are added is dict...

Modeling goal-directed spatial navigation in the rat based on physiological data from the hippocampal formation.

2007-04-14T07:55:35Z

We investigated the importance of hippocampal theta oscillations and the significance of phase differences of theta modulation in the cortical regions that are involved in goal-directed spatial navigation. Our models used representations of entorhinal cortex layer III (ECIII), hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFC) to guide movements of a virtual rat in a virtual environment. The model encoded re...

Axiope tools for data management and data sharing.

2007-04-14T07:54:41Z

Many areas of biological research generate large volumes of very diverse data. Managing this data can be a difficult and time-consuming process, particularly in an academic environment where there are very limited resources for IT support staff such as database administrators. The most economical and efficient solutions are those that enable scientists with minimal IT expertise to control and oper...

Correlated bursts of activity in the neonatal hippocampus in vivo

2007-04-14T07:48:09Z

The behavior of immature cortical networks in vivo remains largely unknown. Using multisite extracellular and patch-clamp recordings, we observed recurrent bursts of synchronized neuronal activity lasting 0.5 to 3 seconds that occurred spontaneously in the hippocampus of freely moving and anesthetized rat pups. The influence of slow rhythms (0.33 and 0.1 hertz) and the contribution of both gamma -...

Non-curated distributed databases for experimental data and models in neuroscience

2007-04-23T10:47:54Z

Neuroscience is generating vast amounts of highly diverse data which is of potential interest to researchers beyond the laboratories in which it is collected. In particular, quantitative neuroanatomical data is relevant to a wide variety of areas, including studies of development, aging, pathology and in biophysically oriented computational modelling. Moreover, the relatively discrete and well-def...
