Molecular neuroanatomy: a generation of progress

Molecular neuroanatomy: a generation of progress.

The neuroscience research landscape has changed dramatically over the past decade. Specifically, an impressive array of new tools and technologies have been generated, including but not limited to: brain gene expression atlases, genetically encoded proteins to monitor and manipulate neuronal activity, and new methods for imaging and mapping circuits. However, despite these technological advance...

P38: Neuroanatomy of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a disorder of emotional and mental stress occurring as an outcome of injury or severe emotional shock. Several Neuroimaging studies in humans have shown the functions and relationship between the anatomical changes of brain and PTSD. The three major areas of the brain are affected by PTSD .These three areas are the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cor...

Molecular diagnostics: a revolution in progress.

Molecular diagnostics now provides most laboratory tests in infectious disease and genetics, and an increasing number in oncology. Massively parallel methods allow sequencing of entire genomes, and sequence databases within and between species provide the information necessary to develop sensitive and specific diagnostic assays. Indeed, most microorganisms today are classified on the basis of s...

Automatic Generation of Implied Constraints: Initial Progress

Constraint satisfaction is a highly successful technology for tackling a wide variety of search problems including resource allocation, transportation and scheduling. Several recent studies show that implied constraints added by hand to a problem representation can lead to significant reductions in search (e.g. [8]). The aim of this project is to develop, analyse and evaluate methods for genera...
