"What do you know about neurons?" A little. While in college, I did worked with a researcher on neural conductance in Aplysia. We put nerve cuffs on the neural fibers and measured the pulses and their delays. The point of the research was to determine which cells caused what behaviors. In animals of this class, behavior is very deterministic, waving the mantle is controlled by a group of 6(? some small number anyway) cells, loss of even one cell in an unlucky place can have very negative effects. I also worked with a post-doc on a project to characterize the different populations of the cells in retinas. We used a catfish model, and we would poke an intra-celluar probe into the cells and present it with a white noise pattern. Using cross and auto-correlations, we would characterize the cells response in time and space. In the course of my work, I read up on to get a good understanding of what we were working on. What is your background?
