Community Resources


Blogs

Computational Neuroscience is predominantly a reflection of the COMP-NEURO mailing list with a few entries from visionlist (rather than a traditional blog).

Neural Ensemble News

Pillow Lab Blog

Planet Neuroscientists is a blog aggregator created by Ankur Sinha.

Roman's Blog

Encyclopedae

Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience represents a major category within Scholarpedia, the free, curated, peer reviewed encyclopedia written by scholars from all around the world.

Wikipedia includes pages on Computational Neuroscience itself, and the simulation software packages: Brian, GENESIS, NEST, Neuron, among others.

Fora

Brian (at Google Groups) is the support group for the Brian neural network simulator.

NetPyNE Q&A Forum NetPyNE is a high-level python interface to NEURON that facilitates the development, parallel simulation and analysis of biological neuronal networks. This Q&A forum enables users and developers to post questions, answers and comments about the tool.

NEURON Forum has as its primary goal to serve as a convenient environment for open discussions about information that is of interest to NEURON users. It will largely replace the old NEURON mailing list.

NeuroScholar System Forums are for developers and users of this neuroscientific knowledge management system.

NeuroscienceForum.com comprises aggregated neuroscience news, podcasts, and a long list of neuroscience topics, including Computational Neuroscience.

Reconstruct Users Group is for users of Reconstruct, a free Windows editor for serial section microscopy.

SNNAP Forum is for users of SNAPP - Simulator for Neural Networks and Action Potentials.

Topographica Forums are for users of the Topographica neural map simulator.

Mailing Lists

CNS : send email to cns@cnsorg.org

COMP-NEURO
Moderated list for discussion of neurobiological computation and related neuroscience databases, analysis tools and software.

Computational Glioscience : send email to sympa@inria.fr with "subscribe comput-gliosci your_name" as the Subject.
Intended to share items of interest (new results, papers, events, trainings, jobs...) to the computational glioscience community, i.e. researchers implicated in the modelling and simulation of glial cells at large (astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells...) and their interactions with neurons.

Connectionists A moderated mailing list for discussion of technical issues relating to neural computation, and dissemination of professional announcements.

Cosyne-announce provides official announcements regarding the annual Cosyne meeting.

Genesis-sim-users is the GENESIS Users Group mailing list (replaces the old BABEL list).

NeuroML list-serve provides several separate lists for various facets of NeuroML development (www.neuroml.org).

NEURON This is the NEURON Users Group mailing list, now used for announcements. For user questions and discussion, see the NEURON Forum (above).

NeuroDebian (http://neuro.debian.net/) aims to provide a turnkey software platform for nearly all aspects of the neuroscientific research process on Debian and Ubuntu. The project maintains discussion lists for: users, development planning and technical development.

Neuroscholar-announce is a moderated mailing list for public announcements concerning essential developments within the NeuroScholar system.

Open Source Brain has two mailing lists: OSB-Discuss and OSB-Announce.

Steps-users is a SourceForge mailing list for announcements concerning use of STEPS: STochastic Engine for Pathway Simulation.

Topographica-announce is a SourceForge mailing list for announcements concerning development of the Topographica neural map simulator.
