Neuroflocks is an unique tool to navigate tweets from the past SfN meeting and find out the hot topics tweeted during the conference (SfN-2010). We have collected all tweets using the hashtag #sfn10 and made them browsable via a simple visual search interface. Type in the word you want to search for and only tweets containing that word will light up! You can click on single tweets, browse the tweet content, click on the Twitter user and find new Neuroscience-enthusiast twitterers! You can also find out what was really HOT during the conference (Re-Tweeted tweets, RT have been color coded). Moreover, the tweets follow a time gradient from the inside out: the spiral's center contains tweets from the beginning of the meeting while tweets on the outside of the spiral were tweeted at the end of the meeting. Enhanced versions of neuroflocks are currently under development !!!

Collection of structures and annotations of biologically relevant lipids that contains unique lipid structures. Structures of lipids from : LIPID MAPS Consortium's core laboratories and partners; lipids identified by LIPID MAPS experiments; biologically relevant lipids manually curated from LIPID BANK, LIPIDAT, Lipid Library, Cyberlipids, ChEBI and other public sources; novel lipids submitted to peer-reviewed journals; and computationally generated structures for appropriate classes. All the lipid structures adhere to the structure drawing rules proposed by the LIPID MAPS consortium. A number of structure viewing options are offered: gif image (default), Chemdraw (requires Chemdraw ActiveX/Plugin), MarvinView (Java applet) and JMol (Java applet). All lipids have been classified using the LIPID MAPS Lipid Classification System. Each lipid structure has been assigned a LIPID MAPS ID (LM_ID) which reflects its position in the classification hierarchy. In addition to a classification-based retrieval of lipids, users can search using either text-based or structure-based search options.

Diretta Juventus-Inter dalle 20.30: probabili formazioni e dove vederla in tv http://bit.ly/2ITALIA TORINO – «Inter? Più importante lo Young Boys». Massimiliano Allegri ha provato a stemperare così la tensione di una partita che mai sarà come le altre. Sarà il primo derby d’Italia senza Buffon in porta, il primo senza Marotta bianconero: «La Juve non ha ammazzato il campionato – ha detto il tecnico nella conferenza della vigilia -. Si vince solo a maggio, servono almeno trenta vittorie». Spalletti, che farà a meno di Nainggolan, ha invitato la squadra ad andare all’Allianz con coraggio e personalità: «Le nostre condizioni fisiche e mentali sono ottime, dipenderà da noi accorciare o meno questo distacco». Juventus già a 40, Inter a 29. La sfida di questa sera potrebbe dare un’ulteriore sterzata al campionato. Segui tutto in diretta dalle 20.30 su TORINO - L’ultima volta assieme è stata a Mosca, 15 luglio. La Croazia si ferma a un passo dal Paradiso, battuta nella finale mondiale dalla Francia. Finisce 4-2, Mario Mandzukic e Ivan Perisic vanno di nuovo in gol assieme, come era capitato nella rimonta vincente in semifinale contro l’Inghilterra (con assist di Perisic a Mandzukic per il 2-1 della vittoria). Non basta per regalare un sogno a una nazione di poco più di quattro milioni di abitanti, che si è stretta intorno alla squadra fin dal primo giorno dell’avventura russa, a cominciare dalla presidentessa Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, presente in tribuna allo stadio Luzniki. Quel 15 luglio è anche il giorno dell’addio di Mandukic alla Nazionale con la maglia a scacchi bianco e rossa. Il centravanti dice basta, dopo aver portato la Croazia fin dove mai era arrivata prima. Perisic invece continua, come continua Marcelo Brozovic, autore di un torneo finalmente all’altezza delle aspettative. Il terzetto si ritrova di fronte questa sera, nella classicissima del campionato italiano: Mandzukic con la Juventus, il duo Perisic-Brozovic con l’Inter. Se nessuno ne parla, vuol dire che non esiste. Si applichi questa meccanica perversa a Juventus-Inter, e otterremo un trentennio di polemiche arbitrali a senso unico. Sì, perché l'episodio di Iuliano e Ronaldo, riesumato anche in questa stagione con tanto di botta e risposta tra Simoni e Ceccarini, ha ormai assunto una valenza quasi mitica agli occhi degli anti-juventini. Un peso leggendario, che permette così di inserirlo fra gli scandali, fra i "furti" (quasi fosse chiamato in causa il codice penale), da raccontare alle generazioni future. Poco importa che la realtà sia diversa: basta parlarne. E lo stesso modello calza a meraviglia alla mancata espulsione Pjanic della scorsa stagione, così come - in generale e con una risonanza minore - a tutti gli episodi che coinvolgono errori veri o presunti pro-Juve. Peccato che poi, se solleviamo questa tenda di complottismo, nella storia degli Juve-Inter si possono notare decine di "furti" colorati di nerazzurro. Peccato che non facciano rumore come Iuliano e Ronaldo...

Consortium to discover and map the genes that contribute to Alzheimer's disease and completely understand the role inheritance plays. To achieve this goal, they will work to identify all the genes that contribute to the risk of developing this disease. Investigators will have access to combined genetic data from a large number of Alzheimer's disease subjects and compare it to genetic data from an equally large number of elderly people who do not have Alzheimer's. In the initial phase of the work, more than 20,000 people with Alzheimer's and about 20,000 healthy elderly subjects will be compared. As the study progresses, 10,000 additional people with Alzheimer's and the same number of healthy elderly subjects will be added to the study. The subjects for these studies come from different Alzheimer research project locations across Europe, the UK, the US, and Canada. Data is available from their 2014 publication in Translational Psychiatry at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3944635/ (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24495969) Currently, there is no public access to the raw individual level genetic data because of privacy considerations. Researchers working with US cohorts deposit data in the database of genotypes and phenotypes (dbGaP), where it is available to all researchers who can show that they are able to guarantee the security of the data. After scanning the DNA of over 74,000 patients and controls from 15 countries, the IGAP consortium reported 11 new regions of the genome involved in late-onset Alzheimer's disease. IGAP published its results in Nature Genetics on October 27, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24162737
