Another idea: Mechanisms of memory consolidation and reconsolidation -- perhaps a more focused version of "synaptic plasticity" as above. These topics are much more well understood and diverse than they were even a few years ago, and they are leading to a number of exciting hypotheses about systems and behavioral integrative mechanisms. For example, see Nader & Einarsson (2010) Ann NY Acad Sci 1191:27-41, as well as Jonathan L.C. Lee's recent Nature Neuroscience paper (2008) and Trends in Neurosciences opinion (2010).

Fall Semester 2010-2011
For Fall Semester 2010-2011, the Behavioral, Computational, and Systems Neuroscience (BCS) Journal Club will meet on Tuesdays from 11:45 to 1:00 pm in Uris Hall 205.
The overarching theme this semester is Systems of neuronal representation and learning . Adhering to this theme is not required, but is strongly recommended. Please interpret it broadly. It is intended to include such diverse topics as: the systematic regulation of synaptic plasticity, Bayesian representations (including sensory representations as probability estimates), Bayesian and/or energetic optimality in neural encoding or transmission, perceptual learning, decision-making (including reward harvesting), temporal difference learning/dopamine (Schultz model), synaptic rules that give rise to systems-level learning properties.

- Cell assemblies and functional connectivity.
- Attention.
- Decision making: how do brains/neurons make up their minds... could be broad like sensorimotor or small like anything dealing with synaptic integration/action potential generation.
- More oscillations. i know we did it last spring but it seems like it's still a recurring a nightmare for most people.

Fall Semester 2016-2017
The Fall 2016 semester's theme is “Social Stimuli and Neural Representations”. This is intentionally broad because we want presenters to bring many different perspectives to the BCS journal club. Here are some examples of what we have in mind:
- How to social stimuli (e.g. conspecifics) influence neural representations (e.g. spatial-contextual representations in the hippocampus)?
- How are social stimuli, or stimuli that are related to social processes represented?
- How is information related to individual or species recognition represented in the brain?
Presenting your own work is always welcome, in whatever manner you like.
To add yourself to the BCS-L mailing list, send a plain-text email to bcs-L-request@cornell.edu with the body of the message saying simply join. The subject line doesn't matter. Sending the message leave instead will unsubscribe you from the list. See Cornell's Lyris HowTo page for further details.
You can enroll in the BCS Journal Club for graduate or undergraduate credit (1 CR, S/U) as a Topics in Biopsychology seminar: PSYCH 6271. The course requires that you present at least once during the semester and participate actively overall. You are welcome to attend without enrolling, of course, but we do appreciate you enrolling if you plan to attend the whole semester and to present.

The Spring 2017 semester's theme is "show us what you are interested in." As we morph into the "BEN journal club", we think that it may be less important to choose papers that will be close to every attendees heart than it is to choose papers that are blisteringly important or interesting or controversial in your own subfield, and explain/share this with the group. It's good for all of us. The corollary is that attendees don't decide whether to attend in a given week based on what is being presented.
Presenting your own work is always welcome, in whatever manner you like.

It is less important to choose papers that you think will be close to every attendees' heart than it is to choose papers that are blisteringly important or interesting or controversial in your own subfield, and explain/share this with the group.

- I have been thinking a lot about intranasal oxytocin and vasopressin. This paper suggests that there is no change in brain activity or behavior from intranasal OT and VP, although other papers have found behavioral changes.
- The following papers also were brought up during our (robust and interesting) discussion:

- J. Goodson (2013). Deconstructing sociality, social evolution and relevant nonapeptide functions. Psychneuroendocrinology 38:465-478.
- This review, written by offspring of the Cornell Psych Department, stresses two important concepts relevant to all areas represented by attendees of the CNS journal club: 1) Careful consideration needs to be taken with how we define behavior, and 2) We must utilize a comparative approach in order to understand the evolution of behavior.

S. Warren, E. Yacoub & G. Ghose (2014). Featural and temporal attention selectively enhance task-appropriate representations in human primary visual cortex. Nature Communications 5:5643.
This paper highlights two basic points that are important for anyone who cares about how brains work. First, attention alters the behavior of neuronal populations. As a result, tasks can impact what is represented and measured. Second, what is represented by neuronal populations is influenced by expectations along multiple dimensions, including visual features, timing, and semantics (not just space).

- I picked my paper because it is one of very few that looks at the neural basis of rodent vocalizations. And I'm all about communication, and I did a similar study on ground squirrel communication, which I am presenting at SFN this year, so I wanted to discuss this paper to prep for what things might be good to address in my own work.
3 October 2017: Jesse Werth
B. Lasztoczi and T. Klausberger (2016). Hippocampal Place Cells Couple to Three Different Gamma Oscillations during Place Field Traversal. Neuron 91:34-40.
- Article discusses ideas central to neuronal information processing in a relatively well known brain network. We typically think of hippocampal place cells in the context of how much they fire (spike rates; e.g., with respect to place fields and the animal's physical location within an environment). The authors of this article offer an expanded framework that stresses the importance of when these cells fire (think small time-scales, spike-timing), rather than how much.
- A paper that came up during discussion: Using a new approach for identifying temporal structure in neuroimaging data, Baldassano et al. (2017) propose a theory of how continuous experience is divided into events that are represented in high-level cortex, are stored in long-term memory, and influence later perception. Khena notes: "There's a lot of interesting stuff in here, but I also find aspects of it to be pretty confusing or just wrong (if I understand them correctly)."

This paper can serve as a starting point for a discussion of species recognition mechanisms in general, brood parasitism behavior, vocal learning and call production and their related auditory and production brain regions, ZENK as a scientific tool, innate vs. learned behaviors (and the potential false dichotomy of that distinction), and in vivo/in ovo learning.

These papers highlight the dynamic role of basal ganglia dopamine systems in decision-making and action evaluation in mice. The authors bi-directionally influence reward-based decisions via optogenetic manipulation of specific neuronal populations within the basal ganglia. Overall, these papers demonstrate the 1) the importance of dopamine in both evaluation and action, and 2) the explanatory power of linking precise, sub-circuit neural manipulations to simple behavioral tasks. My research interests include developmental changes in decision-making circuits, particularly the involvement of dopamine systems during adolescent risk-taking behavior.

Presentations in the CNS JC are intended to "show us what you are interested in"; i.e., present work within your subfield that illustrates why it is interesting and broadly applicable. It is less important to choose papers that you think will be close to every attendees' heart than it is to choose papers that are blisteringly important or interesting or controversial in your own subfield, and explain/share this with the group. It's good for all of us. The corollary is that journal club members don't decide whether to attend in a given week based on what is being presented.
Presenting your own work is always welcome, in whatever manner you like.
To add yourself to the mailing list, send a plain-text email to bcs-L-request@cornell.edu (BCS is the historical name of the journal club) with the body of the message saying simply join. The subject line doesn't matter. Sending the message leave instead will unsubscribe you from the list. See Cornell's Lyris HowTo page for further details.
You can enroll in the CNS Journal Club for graduate or undergraduate credit (1 CR, S/U) as a Topics in Biopsychology seminar: PSYCH 6271. The course requires that you present at least once during the semester and participate actively overall. You are welcome to attend without enrolling, of course, but we do appreciate you enrolling if you plan to attend the whole semester and to present.
Please contact Thomas Cleland or David Smith with any questions.

Spring Semester 2022-2023
The Cognition and Neural Systems (CNS) Journal Club (nee' BCS Journal Club), also known as PSYCH 6271-101 (6528), meets on Tuesdays from 11:40 to 1:00 pm(ish) in Uris Hall 205.
Papers and notes from previous semesters can be found in the CNS (BCS) meeting archive.
Shortlink to this page: https://cornellneuro.science/cnsjournalclub
-----
Presentations in the CNS JC are intended to "show us what you are interested in"; i.e., present work within your subfield that illustrates why it is interesting and broadly applicable. It is less important to choose papers that you think will be close to every attendees' heart than it is to choose papers that are blisteringly important or interesting or controversial in your own subfield, and explain/share this with the group. It's good for all of us. The corollary is that journal club members attend regularly, and don't decide whether to attend in a given week based on what is being presented.
Presenting your own work is always welcome, in whatever manner you like.
To add yourself to the mailing list, send a plain-text email to bcs-L-request@cornell.edu (BCS is the historical name of the journal club) with the body of the message saying simply join. The subject line doesn't matter. Sending the message leave instead will unsubscribe you from the list. See Cornell's Lyris HowTo page for further details.
You can enroll in the CNS Journal Club for graduate or undergraduate credit (1 CR, S/U) as a Topics in Biopsychology seminar: PSYCH 6271. The course requires that you present at least once during the semester and participate actively overall. You are welcome to attend without enrolling, of course, but we do appreciate you enrolling if you plan to attend the whole semester and to present.
Please contact Thomas Cleland or David Smith with any questions.
