Brain Connectome and Functional Connectivity Project

A connectome is a comprehensive map of the neural networks within the brain. It details the efferent and afferent pathways within and between brain regions. Functional Connectivity refers to the function of a particular brain region and its information processing role within a distributed neural network. The goal of this project is to create a platform where users can jump into the connectome at any given brain region and visually navigate to upstream and downstream regions; along the way, users can learn about the functional role of each brain region. All information has been collected from empirical sources and scientific databases, in particular, the Allan Brain Atlas. Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Brain Molecular Pathways Project

A biological pathway is a series of actions among molecules in a cell that leads to a certain product or a change in a cell. There are several ways molecules can interact to produce functional effects in the cell. If the goal is to characterize the interaction between molecules in a signaling pathway the following effects should be considered. Some of the most common biological pathways are involved in metabolism, the regulation of gene expression and the transmission of signals. This project aims to provide an annotated set of molecular pathways involved in the neural plasticity that underlies learning and memory.


Welcome to the official wiki of Brad Monk

Hello and welcome to my wiki. This is where I stash random information and have every intention of linking it all together someday. I'm not sure why you're here.. maybe trying to find one of my other wiki projects OneSci Science News or UCSD Psych Grad wiki? If you are so inclined, recent additions to this wiki can be found in the box on the right. For a non-curated glimpse of my activity you can check out the latest wiki updates. Older wiki content can be accessed using the [search box] or perusing all pages. If you would like to contact me, you can find this info on my home page.
