Using resting - state MRI analysis on thousands of people's brains around the world, the research has found that the areas of the brain which are associated with learning and development show high levels of variability, meaning that they change their neural connections with other parts of the brain more frequently, over a matter of minutes or seconds.

Understanding how the brain generates these neural codes can lead to the development of state - of - the - art neural prosthetic devices, more closely imitating the neural coding patterns normally used by the brain.

The use of MRI for research, rather than diagnostic, purposes is a relatively new development, and clinical investigators in the imaging community often do not understand the basic cellular and neural circuitry issues as well as they should, he says.

«LEVER 3 - D is amazing, it opens new vistas for understanding the stem cell niche,» said Dr. Sally Temple, a cell biologist at the Neural Stem Cell Institute in Rensselaer, N.Y. who has been using Cohen's software, through the course of its development, as part of her stem cell research since 2005.

Now, researchers at the University of Cambridge have used fluorescent markers to track cell development in the embryo of a cartilaginous fish — a little skate in this case — and found that these thorny scales are in fact created from the same type of cells as teeth: neural crest cells.

Because the RNAi wasn't used to dampen FOXP2 activity until 23 days after the birds hatched, the new study shows that the gene has a role beyond embryonic development, says neurogeneticist Simon Fisher of the University of Oxford in the U.K. «The gene, at least in songbirds, may have important active functions in [neural] circuits,» he says.

The CMU team used PisCES to follow neural gene expressions from conception through adulthood in rhesus monkey brains to find out what genes work together during different points of development.

Pattwell studies the development of the brain, particularly the neural circuits associated with fear, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder using mice as a model.
