How much information can a population of neurons transmit to its target?
More information Time 12:30 - 12:30Location Gerhard M.J. Schmidt Lecture HallLecturer Prof. Ehud Kaplan
Dept of Neuroscience, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New YorkOrganizer Department of Brain SciencesContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The technology of recording the discharge of a large number ...» The technology of recording the discharge of a large number of neurons has advanced greatly in the past few years. However, the analytical approaches that can extract new insights from such recordings have lagged behind. In particular, until recently there was no way to calculate the amount of (Shannon) information that a population of spiking neurons transmits to its target. In this talk I shall describe a new method that we have developed for this purpose, and discuss briefly ts potential use and limitations. -

How much sex is enough?
More information Time 14:30 - 14:30Location Arthur and Rochelle Belfer Building for Biomedical ResearchLecturer Daniel Fisher
Dept. of Applied Physics, Stanford UniversityOrganizer Department of Molecular Cell BiologyContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Sexual reproduction has many costs -- especially the existen...» Sexual reproduction has many costs -- especially the existence of lots of males.
But sex, or more generally exchange of DNA, is widely believed to have major advantages for evolution. Yet most of the arguments are rather qualitative: with the multiple large and small numbers involved in evolutionary processes, quantitative understanding is essential.
Some of the general questions and theoretical challenges they present will be discussed, including analyses of seemingly simple aspects of sexual evolution and the potential for probing these with microbial evolution experiments.
