The Neuroscience Information Framework https://neuinfo.org/ invites you to join a webinar series about various research resources on the web. Please put these down on your calendar. We hope to hold these weekly every Friday at 2PM EST. Future webinars to be announced and not listed here will be posted to https://neuinfo.org/about/UpcomingWebinars. NIF is supported by U24DA039832.
The Neuroscience Gateway, Subhashini Sivagnanam
Friday, September 29, 2017,
Start Time: 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST.
Synopsis: The Neuroscience Gateway (NSG) portal facilitates access and use of National Science Foundation (NSF) High Performance Computing (HPC) resources by neuroscientists. Computational modeling of cells and networks has become an essential part of neuroscience research, and investigators are using models to address problems of ever increasing complexity, e.g. large scale network models and optimization or exploration of high dimensional parameter spaces. The NSG will catalyze such research by lowering or eliminating the administrative and technical barriers that currently make it difficult for investigators to use HPC resources. It will offer free computer time to neuroscientists acquired via the supercomputer time allocation process managed by the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) Resource Allocation Committee (XRAC). The portal provides access to the popular computational neuroscience tools installed on various HPC resources. It also provides a community mailing list for neuroscientists to collaborate and share ideas.

Friday, October 06, 2017,
Start Time: 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST.
Synopsis: Genomics applications in neuroscience are being dramatically impacted by new technologies that resolve features at the cell type or single cell level. In this webinar, Dr. Pavlidis will describe tools his lab has created to increase the availability and utility of brain transcriptomes, focusing on the cell-type resolved database NeuroExpresso (http://neuroexpresso.org/). We'll discuss how cell-type based expression can be used to help decipher patterns in transcriptomes obtained from mixed-cell-type samples from postmortem human brain ("bulk tissue"), introducing computational tools accessible in the R statistical computing environment. A preprint describing the NeuroExpresso project is available at http://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/05/18/089219.

The World Of NeuroMorpho.Org, Dr. Rubén Armañanzas
Friday, October 20, 2017,
Start Time: 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST.
Synopsis: Join us as we listen to Dr. Armañanzas in a webinar about NeuroMorpho.Org and related topics. NeuroMorpho.Org is a centrally curated inventory of digitally reconstructed neurons. It contains contributions from dozens of laboratories worldwide and is continuously updated as new morphological reconstructions are collected, published, and shared. The goal of NeuroMorpho.Org is to provide free access to all available neuronal reconstruction data in the neuroscience community.

Friday, October 27, 2017,
Start Time: 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST.
Synopsis: Computational models provide a framework for integrating data across spatial scales and for exploring hypotheses about the biological mechanisms underlying neuronal and network dynamics. However, as models increase in complexity, additional barriers emerge to the creation, exchange, and re-use of models. Successful projects have created standards for describing complex models in neuroscience and provide open source tools to address these issues. Here I provide an overview of these projects and make a case for expanded use of resources in support of reproducibility and validation of models against experimental data.

The Database Of Genotypes And Phenotypes (DbGAP), Mike Feolo
Friday, November 17, 2017,
Start Time: 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST.
Synopsis: The database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP) was developed to archive and distribute the data and results from studies that have investigated the interaction of genotype and phenotype in Humans.
