The Brain Biodiversity Bank refers to the repository of images of and information about brain specimens contained in the collections associated with the National Museum of Health and Medicine at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, DC. Atlases and brain sections are available for a variety of mammals, and we are also developing a series of labeled atlases of stained sections for educators, students, and researchers. These collections include, besides the Michigan State University Collection, the Welker Collection from the University of Wisconsin, the Yakovlev-Haleem Collection from Harvard University, the Meyer Collection from the Johns Hopkins University, and the Huber-Crosby and Crosby-Lauer Collections from the University of Michigan. What we are doing currently at Michigan State is a series of demonstration projects for publicizing the contents of the collections and ways in which they can be used. For example, the images from the collection can be used for comparative brain study. We have prepared databases of the contents of the collections for presentation and use on this site, as well as for downloading by users in several formats. We are also developing a series of labeled atlases of stained sections for educators, students, and researchers. This internet site is associated with the Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections site. All of the images are in JPEG or GIF format.

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.
