My MD friends tell me there’s no effective cough medication on the market. There are OTC and prescription medicines, but none of them have been proven to really work. That doesn’t mean that they won’t give you some level of subjective relief, but they’re not like asprin or pseudoephedrine (e.g., regular Sudafed)*.
We used to…
One of the factors that limits the depth at which one can image brain tissue in vivo with two-photon imaging is out-of-plane fluorescence. Although the excitation falls off as the square of the distance from the focal…

And on that topic, and this is something the runners among us might appreciate, the Fibonacci sequence can be used to easily convert miles to kms.
Take two consecutive Fibonacci numbers,…
No. I don’t think so.
Anyways, CaliCode is a resource for population calcium imaging. It covers topics from inferring action potential trains from imaging data (hat tip to JV), to image processing and topical…
I’ve seen this line in a methods section before:
“Experiments were carried out at room temperature (19-29 degrees C).”
Which means: “Our lab is in a building with no A/C and poor heating.”
For…
Wolfgang Becker just gave a nice talk at the Berkeley Advanced Imaging Methods meeting.
I should add the Becker-Hinkl literature to the list of online references.

Henry Markram got his wish. He was just awarded 500,000,000 Euros to build a computer model of the brain. In NIH terms, that’s over…
Unenthusiastic about spending thousands of dollars on electrophysiology software like pCLAMP? Try the free and open source Strathclyde Electrophysiology Software. It’s a suite of programs for recording and analyzing signals from intracellular electrophysiology…
Programming that happens in labs is typically rushed and sloppy. The goal is to get the job done right, and, almost…
Many red fluorescent proteins go through a green fluorescent stage prior to becoming fully folded into their mature red fluorescent state. In fact, some proteins can be photoswitched in and/or out of their mature…
Editorial preface: Labrigger takes submissions from anyone. We post them if they’re potentially useful. In this case, we received some material from a commercial source. Labrigger is not endorsing their products. But we recognize…
PubPeer, a site for anonymous (or non-anonymous), post-publication peer review is taking off nicely. Traffic is increasing to the site and there are a lot of interesting comments, including both detailed commentary…
