The Computation and Neural Systems degree program is organized jointly by the Division of Biology, the Division of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy. It is the program''s objective to provide a broad knowledge of this inherently multidisciplinary field, while at the same time requiring an appropriate depth of knowledge in the particular field of the thesis research. For example, a student working on cooperative circuits for early visual processing will also develop an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy and electrophysiology of early visual areas and a knowledge of visual psychophysics. A student working on olfactory cortex electrophysiology and its simulation would include the study of concurrent processing and the ethology of olfaction, and the relevant knowledge of dynamical and collective systems. A student working on the theory of complex systems could study collective and statistical properties of physics as well as the anatomical and algorithmic structure of biological and applied networks. Sponsors: The computational and neural systems is funded by the California Institute of Technology.

http://www.strout.net/conical/

CONICAL is a C++ class library for building simulations common in computational neuroscience. Currently its focus is on compartmental modeling, with capabilities similar to GENESIS and NEURON. Future classes may support reaction-diffusion kinetics and more. A key feature of CONICAL is its cross-platform compatibility; it has been fully co-developed and tested under Unix, DOS, and Mac OS. Any C++ compiler which adheres to the emerging ANSI standard should be able to compile the CONICAL classes without modification. It is intended to encourage the rapid development of simulator software, especially on non-Unix systems where such software is sorely lacking. The present focus of the CONICAL library of C++ classes is compartmental modeling. A model neuron is built out of compartments, usually with a cylindrical shape. When small enough, these open-ended cylinders can approximate nearly any geometry, just as the stack of cylinders approximates a cone in the logo above. While any compartment has passive electrical properties (like a simple resistor-capacitor circuit), more interesting properties require the use of active ion channels whose conductance varies as a function of the time or membrane voltage. A standard Hodgkin-Huxley ion channel is included as one of the built-in CONICAL object types. Most of the voltage-gated ion channels in the literature can be directly implemented merely by setting the parameters of this class. For extensibility, this class is derived from several layers of more general classes. Connections between neurons can be implemented in several ways. For a gap junction (i.e., simple electrical connection), a passive current (or pair of currents, one in each direction) can be used. Synapses are more complex objects, but used in a similar fashion. The Alpha-function synapse is a very popular model of synaptic transmission, and is a basic CONICAL class. More complex (and realistic) synapses can be built using the Markov-model synapse. (A Markov model can be used on its own for other purposes as well.) In addition to classes directly related to neural modeling, CONICAL contains several other useful object types. These include a current injector, and a column-oriented output stream for storing data in table form.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on May 16, 2016. The establishment of open access literature makes it possible for knowledge to be extracted from scholarly articles and included in other resources. BioLit aims to extract database identifiers and rich meta-data from open access articles in the life sciences and integrate that information with existing biological databases. We have begun prototyping this effort using a clone of the RCSB Protein Data Bank, a database of macromolecular structures. Cyberinfrastructure is integral to all aspects of conducting experimental research and distributing those results. However, it has yet to make a similar impact on the way we communicate that information. Peer-reviewed publications have long been the currency of scientific research as they are the fundamental unit through which scientists communicate with and evaluate each other. However, in striking contrast to the data, publications have yet to benefit from the opportunities offered by cyberinfrastructure. While the means of distributing publications has vastly improved, publishers have done little else to capitalize on the electronic medium. In particular, semantic information describing the content of these publications is sorely lacking, as is the integration of this information with data in public repositories. This is confounding considering that many basic tools for marking-up and integrating publication content in this manner already exist, such as a centralized literature database, relevant ontologies, and machine-readable document standards. We believe that the research community is ripe for a revolution in scientific communication and that the current generation of scientists will be the one to push it forward. These scientists, generally graduate students and new post-docs and have grown up with cyberinfrastructure as a part of their daily lives, not just a specialized aspect of their profession. They have a natural ability to do science in an electronic environment without the need for printed publications or static documents and, in fact, can feel quite limited by the traditional format of a publication. Perhaps most importantly, they appreciate that the sheer amount of data and the number of publications is prohibitive to the traditional methods of keeping current with the literature.

Griffin (G-protein-receptor interacting feature finding instrument) is a high-throughput system to predict GPCR - G-protein coupling selectively with the input of GPCR sequence and ligand molecular weight. This system consists of two parts: 1) HMM section using family specific multiple alignment of GPCRs, 2) SVM section using physico-chemical feature vectors in GPCR sequence. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), which is composed of seven transmembrane helices, play a role as interface of signal transduction. The external stimulation for GPCR, induce the coupling with G-protein (Gi/o, Gq/11, Gs, G12/13) followed by different kinds of signal transduction to inner cell. About half of distributed drugs are intending to control this GPCR - G-protein binding system, and therefore this system is important research target for the development of effective drug. For this purpose, it is necessary to monitor, effectively and comprehensively, of the activation of G-protein by identifying ligand combined with GPCR. Since, at present, it is difficult to construct such biochemical experiment system, if the answers for experimental results can be prepared beforehand by using bioinformatics techniques, large progress is brought to G-protein related drug design. Previous works for predicting GPCR-G protein coupling selectivity are using sequence pattern search, statistical models, and HMM representations showed high sensitivity of predictions. However, there are still no works that can predict with both high sensitivity and specificity. In this work we extracted comprehensively the physico-chemical parameters of each part of ligand, GPCR and G-protein, and choose the parameters which have strong correlation with the coupling selectivity of G-protein. These parameters were put as a feature vector, used for GPCR classification based on SVM.
