Achromatopsie ist eine autosomal-rezessiv vererbte, sehr seltene Erkrankung, die zum Ausfalls des Farbsehens und zu weiteren Beeinträchtigungen führt. Auf der Website der Achromatopsie Selbsthilfe wird neben dem normalen Ablauf des Sehvorgangs und der ausführlichen Erläuterung der dabei stattfindenden Vorgänge im molekularen und zellulären Bereich auch die Vererbung verschiedener Störungen erklärt. ...

The Allen Brain Atlas (ABA) is an interactive, genome-wide image database of gene expression in the mouse brain. A combination of RNA in situ hybridization data, detailed Reference Atlases and informatics analysis tools are integrated to provide a searchable digital atlas of gene expression. Together, these resources present a comprehensive online platform for exploration of the brain at the cellular and molecular level. ... [Information of the supplier]
Akiyoshi Kitaoka is an Professor of psychology at the College of Letters, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto, Japan. He received a BSc from the Department of Biology, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan (1984), and received a PhD degree from the Institute of Psychology, University of Tsukuba (1991). He received the Kamitake Gakujutsu Prize from the Institute of Psychology, University of Tsukuba (1998). Dr. Kitaoka has extensively studied visual illusions including geometric illusions, lightness illusions, color illusions, motion illusions and stereoscopic illusions. A series studying visual phantoms was already published in four papers and will be further published in forthcoming papers. ... [Information of the supplier]
The smell of a flower - The memory of a walk in the park - The pain of stepping on a nail. These experiences are made possible by the 3 pounds of tissue in our heads...the Brain!! Neuroscience for Kids has been created for all students and teachers who would like to learn about the nervous system. [Information of the supplier]
Neurophilosophy is a weblog about molecules, minds and everything in between. I aim to produce well-written and easily accessible articles about all aspects of neuroscience, so that I might help to improve public understanding of it. This blog has been featured for two consecutive years in the Open Lab annual anthologies of the best science blogging: "The Discovery of the Neuron" was featured in Open Lab 2006 and "An Illustrated History of Trepanation" in Open Lab 2007. ...

Grundlage von Ulrich Helmichs Website über Neurobiologie sind die "Vorgaben zu den unterrichtlichen Voraussetzungen für die schriftlichen Prüfungen im Abitur in der gymnasialen Oberstufe" für das Fach Biologie des Kultusministeriums von NRW sowie die aktuellen Richtlinien für das Fach Biologie des Landes NRW. Die Gliederung orientiert sich stark an den Richtlinien, schwerpunktmäßig behandelt er aber die Themen, die auch in den Vorgaben zum Zentralabitur genannt sind. Im Einzelnen werden dargestellt: 1. Molekulare und cytologische Grundlagen; 2. Neuronale Verschaltungen und Sinne; 3. Wahrnehmung, Gedächtnis, Bewusstsein. Schwerpunkt sind die abiturrelevanten Themen Ruhepotenzial, Aktionspotenzial und synaptische Übertragung. ... [Information des Anbieters, verändert]
ModelDB is a curated database of published models in the broad domain of computational neuroscience. It addresses the need for access to such models in order to evaluate their validity and extend their use. It can handle computational models expressed in any textual form, including procedural or declarative languages (e.g. C++, XML dialects) and source code written for any simulation environment. The model source code doesn't even have to reside inside ModelDB; it just has to be available from some publicly accessible online repository or WWW site. ModelDB is curated in order to maximize the scientific utility of its contents. The ideal model entry would contain "original" (author-written) source code, especially if it works and reproduces at least one figure from a published article. Original source code has tremendous value because it is what the authors used to generate the simulation results from which they derived their published insights and conclusions. High quality "third party" re-implementations of published models are also relevant, especially those involving models that are of wide interest. ... [Information of the supplier]
Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) is a dynamic inventory of Web-based neuroscience resources: data, materials, and tools accessible via any computer connected to the Internet. An initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, the Neuroscience Information Framework advances neuroscience research by enabling discovery and access to public research data and tools worldwide through an open source, networked environment. ...

Thinking, sensing, learning, remembering - all mental functions reside within the brain. At the same time, this organ is probably the most complex structure that evolution has ever produced. Understanding the brain is the prerequisite for creating new methods for prevention and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. It may also help developing new strategies for learning and teaching. It may even be used for the design of new, 'intelligent' technical devices, such as neuroprostheses or more powerful computer systems. For investigating the brain, the interdisciplinary approach of computational neuroscience, in which experts in biology, physics, psychology, medicine, mathematics and engineering join forces, holds especially promising perspectives. By combining experiment, data analysis, theoretical modelling and computer simulations, computational neuroscience allows translating basic research to targeted applications. Within the framework of the funding initiative "National Network Computational Neuroscience", the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research supports the development of this field in Germany. Besides its research activities, training and support of young researchers is an additional central goal of the Bernstein Network. ... [Information of the supplier]
These websites contain tables of the new terminology for the avian brain and information relevant to nomenclature of the avian brain. Its current purpose is to serve as a communication means by which scientists can become more knowledgeable about the avian brain, exchange ideas, and formulate proposals for changing the existing nomenclature. Additionally there are links and references to brain atlases and to laboratories studying avian brains. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
