This lecture provides an introductory overview of some of the most important concepts in software engineering.
This lesson contains both a lecture and a tutorial component. The lecture (0:00-20:03 of YouTube video) discusses both the need for intersectional approaches in healthcare as well as the impact of neglecting intersectionality in patient populations. The lecture is followed by a practical tutorial in both Python and R on how to assess intersectional bias in datasets. Links to relevant code and data are found below.
This talk enumerates the challenges regarding data accessibility and reusability inherent in the current scientific publication system, and discusses novel approaches to these challenges, such as the EBRAINS Live Papers platform.
This lesson aims to define computational neuroscience in general terms, while providing specific examples of highly successful computational neuroscience projects.
This lesson covers membrane potential of neurons, and how parameters around this potential have direct consequences on cellular communication at both the individual and population level.
In this lesson you will learn about neurons' ability to generate signals called action potentials, and biophysics of voltage-gated ion channels.
This lesson discusses voltage-gating kinetics of sodium and potassium channels.
In this lesson, you will learn about the ionic basis of the action potential, including the Hodgkin-Huxley model.
This lesson delves into the specifics of how action potentials propagate through individual neurons.
This lesson discusses long-range inhibitory connections in the brain, with examples from three different systems.
An introduction to data management, manipulation, visualization, and analysis for neuroscience. Students will learn scientific programming in Python, and use this to work with example data from areas such as cognitive-behavioral research, single-cell recording, EEG, and structural and functional MRI. Basic signal processing techniques including filtering are covered. The course includes a Jupyter Notebook and video tutorials.
This lecture covers visualizing extracellular neurotransmitter dynamics
This lecture consists of the second half of the introduction to signal transduction, here focusing on cell receptors and signalling cascades.
In this lesson, you will learn about GABAergic interneurons and local inhibition on the circuit level.
The "connectome" is a term, coined in the past decade, that has been used to describe more than one phenomenon in neuroscience. This lecture explains the basics of structural connections at the micro-, meso- and macroscopic scales.
EyeWire is a game to map the brain. Players are challenged to map branches of a neuron from one side of a cube to the other in a 3D puzzle. Players scroll through the cube and reconstruct neurons with the help of an artificial intelligence algorithm developed at Seung Lab in Princeton University. EyeWire gameplay advances neuroscience by helping researchers discover how neurons connect to process visual information.
This module explains how neurons come together to create the networks that give rise to our thoughts. The totality of our neurons and their connection is called our connectome. Learn how this connectome changes as we learn, and computes information.
This lecture provides an introduction to the analysis of Phase Separation at the Synapse.
In this lightning talk, you will learn about BrainGlobe, an initiative which exists to facilitate the development of interoperable Python-based tools for computational neuroanatomy.
