Using photons as neurotransmitters in C. elegans
The connectivity between individual neurons is fundamental to neuronal networks and brain function. Here, we replace the flavor of chemical neurotransmission with the color of photons emitted from presynaptic luciferases and light-gated ion channels in the postsynapse.
Data architecture for collaborative neuroscience
How to process, store and (publicly) share the large datasets acquired in many laboratories distributed across the globe? These questions were faced by the International Brain Laboratory; solutions found are likely to be of interest to all our global and open Neuroscience community.
