CHARMM Development Project Forums User Discussion & Questions General Chemistry Discussions Simulations in Neuroscience

Dear all,
I have heard that some scientists simulate tough things in neuroscience including G-protein coupled Receptor(GPCR). I'm a undergraduate;It has been such a difficult problem to figure out the past, the present, and the future in neuro-simulation and to find the related articles or scientists.
Could you give me any advice?

Hi,

Koch's group has done excellent work on computational
neuroscience

http://www.klab.caltech.edu/

There are many other excellent groups in this area. But
probably you are looking for some other type of simulations?

Best,

Ansu

Dear. Ansuman,
Thank you for your advice. It's really helpful information. Koch's computations appears to based on behavioral neuroscience. That's really nice. Do you know any scientists who have researched molecular structures in neuroscience?

Hello,

Work from Sansom's lab may be of interest to you.
Here is a good review

C. E. Capener, H. J. Kim, Y. Arinaminpathy, and M. S.P. Sansom
Ion channels: structural bioinformatics and modelling
Hum. Mol. Genet., October 1, 2002; 11(20): 2425 - 2433.

Regards,

Benoit Roux's lab is another good resource

Dear Ansuman,
I have skimmed them for 3-4 days. It's really good sources.
I have a schedule for reading Roux's articles on vacation.
Thank you~ Sincerely..
