Vague pop-sci article about some sort of advance in culture/MEA land having to do with plasticity (I couldn’t find the real article in Physical Review Letters, maybe it’s not out yet)
Syed’s laboratory has a fancy web site, incidentally.

Using Yahoo Pipes, we combined neuro/ai/cog-related RSS feeds from many sources into one, sometimes filtering along the way so as to minimize offtopic posts:
Ultimate neurodudes RSS feed (relatively inclusive version)
Feeds are periodically added and subtracted, but hopefully reflects the blogrolls below (but doesn't yet -- it's still under construction), except for those feeds which Yahoo Pipes had trouble processing, a list of which can be seen by checking the Pipe page.
Bayle's working on Google Reader bundles for neuroscience journals, and other neuro feeds. Like the Ultimate Neurodudes Feed, these are heavily under construction, and probably aren't very good yet.
Here's a neurodudes' friend feed on Twitter, which follows a bunch of people who often post interesting material.

Hmm… hopefully we’ll hear more about what he actually *did* with the MEA soon. I must say that his web site is certainly flashly. Like the part of the intro animation where the snail rockets away and all his publications/journal covers appear..

It’s too bad none of the press releases actually mentioned what was done. Basically, using a capacitor and transistor, the investigators potentiated a chemical synapse between two snail neurons. This work was also done with Fromherz, who’s done a lot of the neuron-on-a-chip research.

Nothing new was done. Very lame. Interfacing neurons with electrical equipment has been acheived many times before. No new culture tech. snails just have hearty neurons. This release is very, very lame.
