This lecture covers an introduction to neuroinformatics and its subfields, the content of the short course and future neuroinformatics applications.
Introduction to the types of glial cells, homeostasis (influence of cerebral blood flow and influence on neurons), insulation and protection of axons (myelin sheath; nodes of Ranvier), microglia and reactions of the CNS to injury.
How does the brain learn? This lecture discusses the roles of development and adult plasticity in shaping functional connectivity.
The mechanisms behind changes in synaptic function created by learning.
How genetics can contribute to our understanding of psychiatric phenotypes.
Tutorial describing the basic search and navigation features of the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas
Tutorial describing the basic search and navigation features of the Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the differential search feature of the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas to find gene markers for different regions of the brain and to visualize this gene expression in three-dimensional space. Differential search is also available for the Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas and the Allen Human Brain Atlas.
