Beta Rhythm (Music of the Mind). Neurobiology, molecular biology, nanotech, signal processing. Wednesday, December 14, 2011. Diffusion Imaging - Mapping the Connectome. From The Human Connectome Project Is a First-of-its-Kind Map of the Brain's Circuitry. Working with $30 million and just half a decade, the Human Connectome Project aims to create a first-of-its-kind map of the brain’s complex circuitry, detailing every connection linking thousands of different regions of the brain. . The study, "Rich-Clu...

Beta Rhythm (Music of the Mind): Neurotrophins
http://betarhythm.blogspot.com/2008/09/neurotrophins.html
Beta Rhythm (Music of the Mind). Neurobiology, molecular biology, nanotech, signal processing. Sunday, September 07, 2008. In 1949, Canadian psychologist Donald Hebb proposed that "When an axon of cell A is near enough to excite cell b or repeatedly and consistently takes part in firing it, some growth process or metabolic changes take place in one or both cells such that A's efficiency, as one of the cells firing B, is increased". From the Society for Neuroscience article Neurotrophic Factors. Released ...

Beta Rhythm (Music of the Mind): This is Spinal Tap - Dendritic Spines
http://betarhythm.blogspot.com/2008/06/this-is-spinal-tap-dendritic-spines.html
Beta Rhythm (Music of the Mind). Neurobiology, molecular biology, nanotech, signal processing. Friday, June 13, 2008. This is Spinal Tap - Dendritic Spines. The picture at right is truly amazing. It overlays three color-coded images of dendritic spines in a living mouse's brain, collected 45 minutes apart. White regions indicate stable dendritic segments. Green shows spines that retracted and red shows spines that sprouted during the observation period. 8220;Our first observations of the large-scale stru...

Beta Rhythm (Music of the Mind): A Rush of Blood to the Head - How neurons tell blood vessels where the action is
http://betarhythm.blogspot.com/2008/08/rush-of-blood-to-head-how-neurons-tell.html
Beta Rhythm (Music of the Mind). Neurobiology, molecular biology, nanotech, signal processing. Saturday, August 30, 2008. A Rush of Blood to the Head - How neurons tell blood vessels where the action is. But, how do neurons tell blood vessels what to do in the first place? From Medical News Today. With thanks to the Marathon of Life blog. The diameter of a blood vessel is controlled by smooth muscle cells in the walls of the blood vessel, which in turn are controlled by 'inward rectifier' potassium ion c...

Beta Rhythm (Music of the Mind). Neurobiology, molecular biology, nanotech, signal processing. Thursday, December 20, 2012. It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so. How are small-scale networks of neurons structured and how do the neurons interact in order for us to do simple things like rhythmically tap a finger? Are we there yet? For a nice overview). And yet, with all of the money that has been poured into this research, we still don'...
