As the planning of the BRAIN project is currently underway, we share our insights and lessons from our efforts in mapping real-time episodic memory traces in the hippocampus of freely behaving mice.
Previous research has shown that regions of the cortex, the thinking and planning part of the brain, communicate during deep sleep with a sliver of tissue deeper in the brain called the hippocampus, which records each day's memories.
Similarly, precise delineation of primary and metastatic lesions helps to optimise target volume definition in radiation therapy [22], and knowledge about functional use of brain tracts can aid in optimal surgical planning for tumours of the brain [23].
The Liverpool supporters' plan is the brain child of Rogan Taylor, a lecturer at the Football Industry Group at Liverpool University.
That scenario planted the seed of a business plan into the brains of two improbable Web merchants, Donna Beers and Pattie Weaver, whose sons both moved out of state in 1998.
