Genetically Encoded Tools: Bridging the Gap between Neuronal Identity and Function

Habits: bridging the gap between personhood and personal identity

In philosophy, the criteria for personhood (PH) at a specific point in time (synchronic), and the necessary and sufficient conditions of personal identity (PI) over time (diachronic) are traditionally separated. Hence, the transition between both timescales of a person's life remains largely unclear. Personal habits reflect a decision-making (DM) process that binds together synchronic and diach...

Bridging the Gap between Neuroimaging and Neuronal Physiology

Despite the fact that blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have become ubiquitous and are of ever increasing importance for clinical and basic neurosciences, the fundamental relationships between BOLD and the underlying neuronal physiology are not understood. This raises severe concerns about the validity of BOLD contrast per se, and the ...

Cross border E-Science and Research Partnership: Bridging the Gap Between Science and Media

  E-Science is a tool that helps scientists to store, interpret, analyze and make a network of their data, and it can play a critical role in different aspects of the scientific goals and research. This commentary, under the topic of Cross Border E-Science and Research Partnership: Bridging the Gap between Science and Media,[1] attempts to shed light on E-Science with emphasis on three importa...

Bridging the Gap between Application

Group communication protocols have received great attention over the past years. From a practical viewpoint, several middleware systems have implemented the group communication abstraction; from a theoretical viewpoint, a sound theory underlying group communication has been developed and minimal solvability conditions have been identiied. So far, however, group communication protocols have not ...
