episode 107: Episode 107 -- Symposium 2014: Power Law Dynamics in the Brain
Friday, December 6, 2013
In December 2013, The UTSA Neurosciences institute assembled a group of premier biophysicists to discuss "Power Law Dynamics in the Brain." Recorded after the day's talks, this episode has Charlie Wilson (UTSA) leading the group in covering a wide range of topics on scale-invariant network dynamics as they relate to neural systems, including consideration of criticality and optimality...
episode 108: Episode 108 -- Arnold Kriegstein, PhD
Arnold Kriegstein (UCSF) discusses differences in proliferative zones of human and mouse, and his group's discovery of a novel class of neurogenic radial glia in the outer subventricular zone of human neocortex, which may have provided a critical evolutionary step underlying increased cortical size and complexity in the human brain...
