michaelit's been an interesting #ecology session at the #CellPress symposium on #microbiomes. learned a few things I might follow up on. An impressive representation from Dunn School at #Oxford actually.

Petit Ours, Saturday, December 13 at 08:00 PM EST
'To end the year we decided to organize a benefit weekend of shows donating to various charities curated by the bands. This is our way to use music to give back to society.'
CELL PRESS (Donating to Project 10)
REDSEAL (Donating to La Marie Debout)
THAT STATIC (Donating to Hearing Health Foundation)
COMPUTER SCIENCE (Donating to Chez Doris)
8pm - $20

BioData.pt🎉 Congrats to our BioData.pt colleagues Daniel Faria & Gil Poiares-Oliveira on their co-authorship in Patterns (Cell Press)!
The article showcases the impact of RDMkit, ELIXIR’s flagship RDM resource.
Mike AmundsenClassical music lifts our mood by synchronizing our 'extended amygdala'
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-08-classical-music-mood-synchronizing-amygdala.html
"... the researchers found that music generates its antidepressant effects by synchronizing the neural oscillations between the auditory cortex, which is responsible for processing of sensory information, and the rewards circuit, which is responsible for processing emotional information." -- #CellPress
Classical music lifts our mood by synchronizing our 'extended amygdala'
Whether Bach, Beethoven, or Mozart, it's widely recognized that classical music can affect a person's mood. In a study published in Cell Reports, scientists in China have used brainwave measurements and neural imaging techniques to show how Western classical music elicits its positive effects on the brain. Their goal is to find more effective ways to use music to activate the brain in those who otherwise don't respond, such as people with treatment-resistant depression.

"The first human received an implant from #Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well. Initial results show promising neuron spike detection."- quote #ElonMusk #guardiannews https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/jan/29/elon-musk-neuralink-first-human-brain-chip-implant
This Neuralink is an interesting discovery related to experimentation with neuronal electrical circuit (Neuralink Begins First Human Experiments by #TheTeslaSpace on #Youtube https://youtu.be/CxBbw8eT624). Previously, with EEG (Electroencephalography (EEG): An Introductory Text and Atlas #NCBI #NIH https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK390346 and Electroencephalography #CellPress #Elsevier https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(18)31551-3) and optogenitcs (Optogenetics for light control of biological system #Nature #NatureJournal https://www.nature.com/articles/s43586-022-00136-4) scientists have endeavored to observer in action, understand mechanistically and alter for therapeutics or functional analysis neuronal electical circuits. EEG and optogenetics research underwent extensive scientific rigor in experimentation. This scientific rigor is missing with #Neuralink and scientists have been quick to provide constructive feedback that safety, transparency and scientific rigor is needed with Neuralink (Neuralink brain chip: advance sparks safety and secrecy concerns https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00550-6 and AI & robotics briefing https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00375-3 #Nature #NatureJournal). #ElonMusk you are one of my favorite heros in science/humanities and you're wise enough to know that this review from scientists is not to stop his technology but its to make it better. For indeed, we scientists and everyone for that matter, are all proud of you for yet again accomplishing the impossible with Neuralink, we only want to make Neuralink better. I believe in the quote 'if you're not part of the solution, you're the problem', so Sir I would like to be part of the solution for your Neuralink. I am open to employment globally, I’m a gold standard scientist and a digital nomad. I have extensive experience in neuroscience in addition to other knowledge domains. Sorry no offense, but the models already used in Neuralink such as pig, were not developed with sufficient scientific rigor, and this is what need to be fixed first. Ergo, the first thing that I can do is I can make a simple in vivo nervous system model for Neuralink using C.elegans or Drosophila etc which only a few neuons (The Drosophila Larval Locomotor Circuit Provides a Model to Understand Neural Circuit Development and Function #Frontiers https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fncir.2021.684969/full, Simple model systems reveal conserved mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease and related tauopathies #Nature #NatureJournal https://molecularneurodegeneration.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13024-023-00664-x, Learning the dynamics of realistic models of C. elegans nervous system with recurrent neural networks #Nature #NatureJournal https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9832137/ and Connectomics-Based Analysis of Information Flow in the Drosophila Brain #CellPress #Elsevier https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(15)00336-X). Then I will develop more complex models i.e. I can develop a human in vitro model for Neuralink using brain organoids and organ-on-chip or brain-on-chip models (Patient-Derived Organoids in Precision Medicine #Frontiers https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/oncology/articles/10.3389/fonc.2021.762184/full, Organs-on-a-chip #MIT https://biology.mit.edu/our-gut-brain-connection and How ‘Organs on a Chip’ Will Revolutionize Medicine #NationalGeographic https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/article/further-health-organ-chip-biomedical-testing). Next step, what about in vitro and in vivo organ model for humans? You suggested (youtube link above) that Neuralink has potentil to cure blindness. The eye is the most accessible part of the central nervous system (unlike other sensory organs eye has same origin like the brain during development so its a great model organ to eventually get into the brain) and as during my PhD I worked on eye, I am a great fit for this work.
