The Next Steps

Multielectrode recordings: the next steps.

At present, a growing number of laboratories are acquiring the capability of simultaneously monitoring the extracellular activity of over a hundred single neurons in both anaesthetized and awake animals. This paradigm, known as multielectrode recordings, is changing the face of systems neuroscience by allowing, for the first time, the visualization of the function of entire neural circuits at w...

The next steps in next-gen sequencing of cancer genomes.

The necessary infrastructure to carry out genomics-driven oncology is now widely available and has resulted in the exponential increase in characterized cancer genomes. While a subset of genomic alterations is clinically actionable, the majority of somatic events remain classified as variants of unknown significance and will require functional characterization. A careful cataloging of the genom...

Next steps in trial registration.

Minimum criteria have been agreed, and intentions restated L ast year medical journals responded to the growing clamour for greater transparency in the conduct of clinical trials by deciding to require registration of trials that are submitted for publication. 1 Various groups have proposed criteria to clarify the implementation of this policy. 2 3 These moves have received a mostly positive re...
