Diverse perspectives on science and medicine
Check out our highlights from the PLOS Computational Biology August issue: Shaping Neural Circuits by High Order Synaptic Interactions Plasticity between neural connections plays a key role in our ability to process and
The 10th FENS Forum of Neuroscience started on July 2nd, 2016 in Copenhagen, Denmark. PLOS Biology and the rest of the PLOS family are there and enjoying talking to you! Come visit our booth, #80,
The Experimental Biology conference is underway in San Diego! PLOS is well represented at the conference, with editors and staff manning booth # 1502. If you are at the conference, be sure to stop by
Welcome to the second edition of the ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) blog, where we highlight recent PLOS Biology articles that may have passed you by. This time around we’ve brought you papers on
Here are our highlights from the PLOS Computational Biology January issue: Brain Connectivity Dissociates Responsiveness from Drug Exposure during Propofol-Induced Transitions of Consciousness Scientific understanding of how brain networks generate consciousness has seen rapid
For many people, the recent festive period was more about spending time with family, eating too much and being generally merry than it was about reading ground breaking science. As such, we’ve put together
Here are our highlights from September’s PLOS Computational Biology: Model-Based Reasoning in Humans Becomes Automatic with Training Automaticity develops with task familiarity. One possible explanation is that automaticity arises when performance of the task becomes
Here are our highlights from August’s PLOS Computational Biology The Role of Cell Volume in the Dynamics of Seizure, Spreading Depression, and Anoxic Depolarization Cell volume changes are ubiquitous in normal and pathological activity of
Here are some highlights from May’s PLOS Computational Biology Convex Clustering: An Attractive Alternative to Hierarchical Clustering The recently developed method of convex clustering preserves the visual appeal of hierarchical clustering while ameliorating its
Millions of people worldwide suffer from progressive degeneration of the eye’s photoreceptors (the light-sensing cells), leading ultimately to blindness. A recent therapeutic approach for restoring vision in blind retinas involves introducing light-sensing proteins into surviving retinal
