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?
Friendly regards
Krassimir

Subject: [Fis] Neuroinformation?
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?
Best wishes,
--
Carolina Isiegas
