Neuroscience: Idle minds

Brain/MINDS: A Japanese National Brain Project for Marmoset Neuroscience

Brain/MINDS (Brain Mapping by Integrated Neurotechnologies for Disease Studies) is a national brain project started by Japan in 2014. With the goal of developing the common marmoset as a model animal for neuroscience, the project aims to build a multiscale marmoset brain map, develop new technologies for experimentalists, create transgenic lines for brain disease modeling, and integrate transla...

Translational neuroscience of schizophrenia: seeking a meeting of minds between mouse and man.

Understanding the etiology of developmental brain disorders such as schizophrenia is critical for achieving advances in treatment and requires new research strategies that control for individual variation in genetic background, environmental challenges, and expression of phenotype. SYSGENET, a European systems genetics network for the study of complex genetic human diseases with mouse genetic r...

Utilizing Idle Workstations

The decreasing cost of personal workstations over recent years has led to their proliferation in computing environments. Studies have shown that personal workstations are under-utilized for long periods of time during regular working hours. This paper identiies this under-utilization as the idle-workstation problem. A taxonomy of computational models of systems that have attempted to solve the ...
