What does this mean to YOU???????? - segarama - 17-09-2005
I have found a number of statements that just leave you hanging....I thought that I would begin a new thread to see what these things mean to others....I found this statement on the internet as part of a talk or something. I retrieved just part of it a few days or so ago. It means something to me, but not sure if there is enough information to really mean what I think it means. Statement:
In conclusion, necessary and sufficient brain systems can be delineated by functional imaging of brain-damaged patients who are not functionally impaired

The non-impaired brain areas are sufficient for function.
*However, the brain is incredibly plastic and often develops compensatory circuitry in cases of brain damage. Therefore, these areas may or may not represent those employed during in normal functioning.
The engaged areas are involved in function, but not necessarily necessary.

Causation
In talking with Dr. Larry Squire, he feels that correlation can not take the place of causation....that correlation is not good enough, but does agree that many times causation is difficult to meet......What does this mean to you?????Best,

Well, here we go....What do you think the United States should do in the health care field regarding the use of embryonic stem cells immediately; with public financing. Private financing is available to what extent, I do not know...but will soon be available if not already via the NASDAQ.What does this mean to YOU????????

The neural substrate and the synaptic substrate...seems they are used a great deal in reading and in some cases does not seem to fit...what am I missing?Best,

Hi Rob!
Thanks for this.
A neural substrate refers to a neurobiological underpinning. The neural substrate of a phenomenon is the neural manifestation of it.
In what context did you come across the term, “synaptic substrate?â€

Thanks very much for these interesting articles Rob!
The term synaptic substrate is being used to refer to the synapses involved in certain phenomena.
Cheers,

Hi
, This is an interesting informal lecture that could be very interesting.....Best,
Rob
This week we will have an informal talk by Jenni Groh on Wednesday
afternoon in place of the Friday morning seminar. It is the first HRC
seminar of the fall, we look forward to seeing everybody!

"Looking at sounds: neural computations for associating visual and
auditory events."
Abstract:
Our senses work together to determine what is happening in our
environment. Merging the input from the different sensory pathways
poses a computational challenge for the brain, because each sensory
system encodes stimulus parameters (e.g. spatial position) quite
differently. I will describe work from my laboratory concerning the
neural computations underlying the fusing of visual and auditory
information. Our results suggest that interactions between sensory
pathways begin at a surprisingly early point. These findings
challenge conventional wisdom that the brain's sensory pathways are
separate and distinct from one another.

Good mornng...
I have always been interested in the "word" synesthesia. Do you think that it is important for the sensory system...or any other system since system analysis tend to effect all sytems? I am looking at an article by Peter G. Grossenbacher and Christopher T. Lovelace titles Mechanisms of synesthesia: cognitive and physiological constraints. It is a good article and takes us into some depth of synesthesia....[TRENDS in Cognitive Science Vol.5 No.l January 2001].
What color is hot? What color is sad? Why is it so purple out today? These are interesting sensory questions. Retrieved URl September 29, 2005 from the internet.
