In the primary visual cortex of the brain, neurons are organized into alternating columns that receive inputs from either the left or right eye. This…
One of the biggest challenges in simulating biological processes is developing mathematical models that accurately reflect the dynamics of real molecules. Koichi Takahashi, of the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute in Yokohama, is in a position to know—as a founding member of the E-Cell Project, he and his colleagues have spent the last 14 years working towards development of a comprehensive simulation of a whole functioning cell….
