Last week, the NIH announced an influx of $150 million to develop infrastructure for the testing of novel alternative methods, following the administration’s push to move away from animal research. By @claudia-lopez.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fund...

Funding for animal research alternatives at inflection point

The U.S. and Europe are dedicating millions in funding to advance novel alternative methods, but not all neuroscientists see this as a positive step.

This YouTube video beautifully describes the emotional stages that students experience when conducting a research project. From uncertainty and confusion to knowledge and satisfaction. It is based on Carol Kuhlthau's model of information seeking behaviour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R3q...

Some years ago, Michael Breakspear (@drbreaky.bsky.social), myself and Andreas Daffertshofer published a review of the Kuramoto model in the context of #ComputationalNeuroscience. It became a popular introduction to modelling #synchronisation in the brain. www.frontiersin.org/journals/hum...

Understanding the fundamental mechanisms governing fluctuating oscilla- tions in large-scale cortical circuits is a crucial prelude to a proper knowl- edge...

Congratulations @osvaldoics.bsky.social on being awarded a MAWA/RFF Research Grant - supporting his project Animal Free Human Stem Cell Models to Investigate Congenital Heart Defects. Grateful to the MAWA Trust and the Rozzoli Family Fund for supporting this work.

The #BrainDynamicsToolbox is an open toolbox for simulating #DynamicalSystems in matlab. It was designed for solving problems in #ComputationalNeuroscience but can be applied to any domain that uses nonlinear #DifferentialEquations. The homepage is bdtoolbox.org.
