Editorial Neural Computation was founded with the goal of providing a home for the best research in computational approaches to understanding brain function. With this issue Neural Computation is now all electronic (color illustrations are free) and also has a broader scope. The goal of the BRAIN Initiative, announced by President Obama on April 2, 2013, is to accelerate progress in understanding basic principles of brain function by developing innovative neurotechnologies. The BRAIN 2025 report on the BRAIN Initiative highlighted Theory, Modeling, Computation and Statistics (TMCS) as essential to this goal (http://www.braininitiative.nih.gov/2025/index.htm). The neurotechniques developed by the BRAIN Initiative will scale up the acquisition of data by three orders of magnitude in the next decade. Every area of neuroscience, from molecular to systems, can benefit from advanced computational techniques to analyze, model, and interpret these data, serving as the foundation for conceptual advances in brain theories. Neural Computation is uniquely positioned at the crossroads between Neuroscience and TMCS and welcomes the submission of original papers from all areas of TMCS, including: * Advanced experimental design * Analysis of chemical sensor data * Connectomic reconstructions * Analysis of multielectrode and optical recordings * Genetic data for cell identity * Analysis of behavioral data * Multiscale models * Analysis of molecular mechanisms * Neuroinformatics * Analysis of brain imaging data * Neuromorphic engineering * Principles of neural coding, computation, circuit dynamics, and plasticity * Theories of brain function An expanded editorial board will guide Neural Computation in this broader arena: http://www.mitpressjournals.org/page/editorial/neco As the US BRAIN Initiative and the European Human Brain Project continue to expand, and as other countries launch new brain programs, Neural Computation will be central in integrating these international efforts.

Spine heads on a dendrite originating from the same axon had the same volume, regardless of whether they were large or small. This has implications for the precision of the mechanisms underlying synaptic plasticity. Terry -----

Spectrum of power laws for curved hand movements Dongsung Huh and Terrence J. Sejnowski http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2015/07/02/1510208112.abstract In curved hand movements around ellipses, the speed tends to scale inversely with the curvature with a power law having an exponent of -1/3. We examined whether this well-known regularity in motor planning holds for more general shapes. Using an optimality principle, we identified a set of basis shapes, each with a single characteristic angular frequency, which subjects drew with power laws whose exponents ranged from 0 to -2/3. More general movements exhibited linear mixtures of power laws. The speed of arbitrary doodling movements with a broad spectrum of frequencies could also be predicted from the curvature with high accuracy. Terry -----

UCSD GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE http://healthsciences.ucsd.edu/education/neurograd/computational/pages/defau... Application deadline: December 1, 2015 (Fall 2016) http://neurograd.ucsd.edu/2page.php?id=gradadm ***** The goal of the Computational Neuroscience Specialization in the Neurosciences Graduate Program at UCSD is to train researchers who are equally at home measuring large-scale brain activity, analyzing the data with advanced computational techniques, and developing new models for brain development and function. Candidates from a wide range of backgrounds are invited to apply, including Biology, Psychology, Computer Science, Physics and Mathematics. The three major themes in the training program are: 1. Neurobiology of Neural Systems: Anatomy, physiology and behavior of systems of neurons. Using modern neuroanatomical, behavioral, neuropharmacological and electrophysiological techniques. Lectures, wet laboratories and computer simulations, as well as research rotations. Major new imaging and recording techniques also will be taught, including two-photon laser scanning microscopy and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). 2. Algorithms and Realizations for the Analysis of Neuronal Data: New algorithms and techniques for analyzing data obtained from physiological recording, with an emphasis on recordings from large populations of neurons with imaging and multielectrode recording techniques. New methods for the study of co-ordinated activity, such as multi-taper spectral analysis and Delay Differential Analysis (DDA). 3. Neuroinformatics, Dynamics and Control of Systems of Neurons: Theoretical aspects of single cell function and emergent properties as many neurons interact among themselves and react to sensory inputs. A synthesis of approaches from mathematics and physical sciences as well as biology will be used to explore the collective properties and nonlinear dynamics of neuronal systems, as well as issues of sensory coding and motor control. ***** Participating Faculty include: * Henry Abarbanel (Physics): Nonlinear and oscillatory dynamics; modeling central pattern generators in the lobster stomatogastric ganglion. * Thomas Albright (Salk Institute): Motion processing in primate visual cortex; linking single neurons to perception; fMRI in awake, behaving monkeys.

State of the Brain - Keystone Symposium Scientific Organizers: Terrence J. Sejnowski and Sten Grillner May 22-26, 2016 Alpbach Congress Centrum, Alpbach, Austria Recent years have seen rapid advances in our understanding of brain biology, driven in part by the development of novel technologies for studying neural networks. Consequently, major national research programs in the EU and US have been launched that will bring together teams of neuroscientists and engineers with the aim of achieving a major advance in understanding brain function and dysfunction. The challenge is to map the circuits of the brain, measure the fluctuating patterns of electrical and chemical activity flowing within those circuits and understand how they give rise to cognitive and behavioral capabilities. This Keystone Symposia conference brings together investigators from around the world to share their discoveries and to plan future projects in this exciting new era for brain research.
