Frontiers in Neuroscience

[Terry Sejnowski <terry@cs.jhu.edu>]

The latest issue of Science (4 November) has a special section
on Frontiers in Neuroscience.  The cover is a spectacular image
of a Purkinje cell by Dave Tank.  Four of the major reviews in
the issue make contact with network modeling:  Tom Brown et al.
on Long-Term Synatpic Potentiation; Steve Lisberger on The Neural
Basis for Learning of Simple Motor Skills; Steve Wise and Bob
Desimone on Insights into Seeing and Grasping; and Pat Churchland
and Terry Sejnowski on Perspectives on Cognitive Neuroscience.
See also the letter by Dave Tank et al. on Spatially Resolved
Calcium Dynamics of Mammalian Purkinje Cells in Cerebellar Slice.
This issue was timed to coincide with the Annual Meeting of the
Society for Neuroscience in Toronto next week.
