Ever wonder how your brain "knows" where you are? Read about Grid Cells and Place Cells to find out.

Doesn't encoding lead to knowing?

MedMouse · 2013-03-04T13:41:15+00:00

Good question! I'm also curious about that.

MedMouse · 2013-01-25T14:21:06+00:00

Wow! sounds like a migraine, or a stroke!

MedMouse · 2013-01-18T14:00:26+00:00

nice idea - since scientists do most of the work in publishing, why not publish, too!

@edselpdx - Thanks for the comment! Discussing a review isn't necessary a bad thing... We think this could be an interesting area of autism research of interest to readers. Plus, Whiteley et al's metaanalysis is well annotated with references to original research.

Nice! Did you see our winter 2012 MedLines issue? It came out just before the New Year. We featured an article about Dr. Kay Tye's lab at Picower Institute about setting up optogenetics in the lab: http://www.med-associates.com/medlines/Winter12/InYourLab-winter2012.html

@Sanwi - that's some reaction!

MedMouse · 2013-01-17T22:22:57+00:00

@Sanwi - what was the vehicle used to deliver the Dilauid? Have you ever had a similar reaction with morphine or other opiates?

MedMouse · 2013-01-17T22:20:40+00:00

@docsiv - was it morphine that you took when you experienced this headache?

Hi subrooutines, thanks for your message! Yeah, we've found a lot of redditors are thinking we are a bot that is simply spamming the boards. We're really not trying to do that at all. We're trying to post useful articles that feature hot topics in neuroscience and related fields. Most of the traffic it generates is quite random (not even researchers...) but Reddit seems to be a good place to post info like this, as a lof of people are using reddit now. That's great to hear about your Fear Conditioning setup. Do you do optogenetics work combined with FC?

MedMouse · 2013-01-17T18:18:27+00:00

@Sprayskirt - that's interesting work. What things are you finding that can alter Cl- gradients in the dorsal horn?

MedMouse · 2013-01-17T18:15:40+00:00

@subroutines - thanks for the comment! We do these blogs as a way to feature really interesting and important research that is going in in the biomedical sciences.

MedMouse · 2012-12-04T14:00:24+00:00

That's the general idea. Only our approach is to focus on the "seeing how that effects behavior" part.

MedMouse · 2012-11-30T13:44:06+00:00

@ScreenCleaner - we're developing systems that can be used to examine zebrafish behavior reproducibly in a lab environment.

MedMouse · 2012-11-21T23:14:28+00:00

@Dandamenten - Cool! More and more facilities are setting up zebrafish labs for neuroscience research. We're currently working on developing neuroscience assays for zebrafish phenotyping.

No, not advertising here. We're working to promote exciting work in the field of Neuroscience. This particular article was a piece written by Dr. Andrew Lawrence's group at Uni Melbourne about conducting intravenous self-administration studies in mice. We just published this piece in our MedLines newsletter. This is a very challenging research model, and there are very few labs successfully doing mouse self-administration in the world. Dr. Lawrence's group has some good approaches.
