Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

On models for short-term memory - with Pawel Herman - #21
Q: What do you think is the most likely candidate model for memory?
There are multiple mechanisms that need to come together, but I still strongly believe in attractor models, though they may not be as fixed as previously thought.
On models for short-term memory - with Pawel Herman - #21
Q: What is the difference between short-term memory and working memory?
Short-term memory is often seen as a transient storage, while working memory involves actively using and manipulating information to guide behavior.
On modeling of signaling pathways inside the neuron - with Avrama Blackwell - #12
Q: What are the challenges in modeling these biochemical interactions?
Avrama discusses the complexity of modeling due to the vast number of molecular species involved and the need for accurate kinetic measurements, highlighting the difficulties of obtaining relevant data and the significance of collaboration between experimentalists and modelers.
On modeling of signaling pathways inside the neuron - with Avrama Blackwell - #12
Q: What is a signaling pathway?
Avrama explains that a signaling pathway is a cascade of biochemical reactions leading from synaptic input to essential cell processes, impacting functions like synaptic plasticity and gene transcription.
On quantum biology - with Johnjoe McFadden - #13
Q: How can quantum physics help in understanding mutations?
It may play a role in the mechanism of mutations, possibly explaining why certain beneficial mutations arise at higher frequencies.
