Dear Pedro, Carolina and FIS Colleagues, Firstly I want to congratulate Pedro and team for new FIS web site! It looks nice and I am sure it will be useful tool for all of us.
Secondly – what is Neuroinformation? >From point of view of General Information Theory, it is needed a Subject for >which the reflection became information after receiving the evidence what the >reflection reflects. But what we have into the Subject? Does he operate with information or only with signals and reflections? Who is/are internal Sub-Subject(s) and evidence(s)? After receiving answers to these questions we may create hypothesizes what is Neuroinformation. I have my own understanding but it will be more good to listen other opinions. What has been investigated by Neuroscience till now?

Dear list, I have been reading during the last year all these interesting exchanges. Some of them terrific discussions! Given my scientific backgound (Molecular Neuroscience), I would like to hear your point of view on the topic of neuroinformation, how information "exists" within the Central Nervous Systems. My task was experimental; I was interested in investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying learning and memory, specifically, the role of the cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling pathway in such brain functions (In Ted Abel´s Lab at the University of Pennsylvania, where I spent 7 years). I generated several genetically modified mice in which I could regulate the expression of this pathway in specific brain regions and in which I studied the effects of upregulation or downregulation at the synaptic and behavioral levels. However, I am conscious that the "information flow" within the mouse Nervous System is far more complex that in the "simple" pathway that I was studying...so, my concrete question for you "Fishers" or "Fisers", how should we contemplate the micro and macro structures of information within the neural realm? what is Neuroinformation?
