Living the Twelve Traditions in Today?s World: Principles Before Personalities

One of the critical components of the highly successful Alcoholics Anonymous is its stated anonymity. Thus, it makes sense when authors Mel B. and Michael Fitzpatrick denounce the relatively recent trend of celebrities making their alcohol and drug recoveries so public. It?s not that the authors don?t want these people to get help; it?s that [...]

Layer magic and monkey business

We?ve known for over a century that sensory cortex is arranged in distinct layers, each containing a different make up of neuronal types and projection patterns, but we don?t actually know that much about the actual computations performed in each layer.  Today a paper from Massimo Scanziani?s lab takes a big step towards cracking the function of the bottom layer (layer 6) in mice. Layer 6 neurons project both to upper cortical layers and to the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus, which itself is the primary input to cortex, and so are primed to play a large modulatory role. Using a monumental combination of optogenetics, intracellular recording, and behavioral testing, the paper convincingly makes the case that layer 6 controls the gain of visual responses of upper layer neurons (i.e.  Read more

College Worries

I've just left school and I'm going to go to college at the end of August and I'm so scared about it. My "friends" have recently broken off our friendship and now I have no friends. I have a really bad stammer which stops me from talking to people because they make fun of the way I talk. I went for an advice day last week and all the girls knew each other and I was the only one who didn't know anyone. I'm also scared about makin friends because I'm only 5ft tall and people make fun of my height. I feel really scared and I get upset whenever I think about going to college and having no one the

Light dissection of reward

Out online in Nature today: a paper from Naoshige Uchida and colleagues about cell-type specific reward and punishment signals in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of mice. The VTA is a midbrain region heavily implicated in reward and addiction, and its outputs are thought to provide reward-related signals to other brain areas. One subpopulation of cells with the VTA, the dopaminergic neurons, have been the topic of intense study for their potential computational role in reward learning. Over a decade ago Wolfram Schultz and colleagues found that in monkeys, dopaminergic neurons fired for unexpected rewards, but were also suppressed if expected rewards were not received.  Read more

Quick links for the last couple of weeks

Oh dear, the automatic Twitter updates feature needs attention. Sigh. Meanwhile, here’s what I’ve been tweeting about: The most important tweet of the last two weeks was notification that Sage Pubs are offering FREE online access to their entire collection until October 15, 2010. Sage do this every year or so and it’s a great time [...]
