Detail of a painting by Doc Wight, in the lobby of the Atlas Building, 406 Collins Street Melbourne CBD.
Doc took to painting in his retirement. And was 'discovered' by the noted art dealer, Richard Llewellyn, in Adelaide.
"His recent works involve bypassing the conscious and working with subconscious motives. He likes to play with colour and non-personal mark-making," I quote from a description of the three paintings at 406 Collins Street.
Doc lives in Melbourne. His studio is in Hawthorn.
We've begun annotating the pharynx nervous system of the nematode Pristionchus pacificus as part of our effort to produce a wiring diagram showing all of the synaptic connections in the nervous system. This image is a 3D reconstruction showing parts of two neurons (yellow and green) as well as a large number of synapses (blue) that are associated with the yellow neuron. Already we see big differences between our nematode and the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans.
Mozak is a scientific discovery game developed by the University of Washington Center for Game Science — the makers of Foldit — with assistance from the Allen Institute for Brain Science. Since it launched in November 2016, citizen neuroscientists and gamers have been able to reconstruct neurons 3.6 times faster than previous methods. The game provides a framework to greatly increase the number of people who can tackle this core task in neuroscience. Credit: University of Washington Center for Game Science
Duke Professor Henry Greenside's research in neuroscience is informed by his approach as a physicist.
Greenside writes, "Mitya's statistical theory of neuronal shape explains several details of why pyramidal cells and Purkinje cells have the shapes they do, e.g., why pyramidal cells are spread out and sparse while Purkinje cells are flat and dense.
This animated figure illustrates the 3d structure of a pyramidal neuron. All of
my attention has been focused on the lower red "basal dendritic tree", which is the easiest part of the neuron to compare with Mitya's theory."
In Naked Knotted Neurons, a group of protesters, some injured, some choking on tear gas, escape violent confrontation with police and other forces by staggering into a safe house they find in the midst of chaos. Strangers to one another, they soon discover they are from different worlds: all were involved in protests, but in different places and times. A trio of dieties, Fate, Chance and Destiny, have gathered them together to charge them with a task: to create a new Hero to solve the world’s most intractable, knotted problems. How to get this message across? Puppets, riddles, and audience participation reveal the secrets the protesters need to fulfill this task.
Following their run at the International Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Penn Theatre Ensemble presented the company-devised piece Naked Knotted Neurons at Annenberg Center Live on September 4th and 5th, 2015.

"Neuron" by American artist Roxy Paine.
The colossal stainless steel structure stands at 41 feet in the Cultural Commons, an expansive meadow enclosed by trees. Installation occurred in mid-April and the site is now officially open to the public.
"It is an honor to be a part of this amazing collection and beautiful sculpture park," said the artist.
"Neuron," part of Paine's "Dendroid" series, is an abstract, re-imagined tree hand-constructed of approximately 3,500 stainless steel rods and cylindrical industrial piping commonly used in pharmaceutical and nuclear power plants.
Paine's juxtaposition of nature and industry is central to his acclaim as one of the most important sculptors of his generation.
"I strive for imagery that is between things nature and industry, science and art, but not quite comfortable in either world," said Paine.
Among the twenty globally sited Dendroid siblings, "Neuron" is unique. While most of the others more closely resemble trees, this one is the least literal and the most visually complex.
"Arguably, "Neuron" is the most compelling to date as a powerful abstract form that breaks freely from traditional representational imagery," said Joseph Becherer, Vice President and Chief Curator of Sculpture at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park.
"On one hand, it is not immediately linked to a natural form, nor is it directly connected to anything industrial, although it is something of both," said Becherer. "More than a complete enigma, it does suggest excitability and energy of its biological namesake. In one breath, such a sizeable and powerful - www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=11&int_new=47688
Programme européen de démonstrateur technologique d'UCAV (système d'avion de combat non habité), dont la maîtrise d'oeuvre a été confiée à Dassault Aviation, nEUROn prépare l'avenir en se basant sur la fédération des "savoir-faire" en Rurope (Suède, Grèce, Suisse, Espagne, Italie). Il a pour mission de valider l'acquisition de techniques plus complexes et représentatives de la totalité des systèmes de missions : haut niveau de furtivité, tir d'armement air-sol réels depuis une soute interne, insertion dans un environnement de commandement et de conduite d'opération militaire complexe, automatismes de haut niveau, nouveaux processus en matière de coopération industrielle etc... Le premier vol du prototype du démonstrateur est prévu en 2011.
this may be how neurons work,
some focused more than others:
flash, connect, when nexus touch,
then darken, cycle on and such.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, MAY 25, 2015: Tourists and local public enjoy the Affinity installation at Vivid Sydney, which depict the dazzling complexity and connectivity of the human brain and neurons. When stimulated by touch, the orbs set-up a striking display of sound and light. People in motion. Artists: amigo & amigo (Simone Chua & Renzo B. Larriviere ) + S1T2 (Chris Panzetta & Naimul Khaled)

The Blue Brain Project is the first comprehensive attempt to reverse-engineer the mammalian brain, in order to understand brain function and dysfunction through detailed simulations.
The project has focused, however, not only on building a model of the neocortical column, but on developing a generic facility that could allow rapid modeling, simulation and experimentation of any brain region, if the data can be measured and provided according to specifications. The facility has been used to build the first model of the neocortical column, which consists of 10,000 3D digitizations of real neurons that are populated with model ion channels constrained by the genetic makeup of over 200 different types of neurons. A parallel supercomputer is used to build the model and perform the experiments so that the behavior of the tissue can be predicted through simulations.
This group exhibition, including work by Catherine Richards, Michael Snow, Scott Rogers, Thomson & Craighead and Simon Pope, draws on ideas of scientific experimentation, media processing, and time delay. Each work acts to slow down our senses of perception, causing within us an awareness of both time passing and our experience of it. The title refers to that fact that we often watch other people interact with responsive art, and mirror their behaviour, consciously or not.
Catherine Richards’ I was scared to death / I could have died of joy features glass replicas of the brain, which react to your presence with pulses of electromagnetic light. Scott Rogers’ Between Nonesuch Place juxtaposes an actual non-functioning glass object, a ‘self-flowing flask’ with its virtual working counterpart. Thomson & Craighead’s Flipped Clock is a modified digital clock display, where each individual digit is rotated by 180-degrees. Simon Pope’s Recall From Memory the Space of Another Gallery is an invitation for the visitor to recall experiences of being in other gallery spaces from memory. The seminal filmmaker Michael Snow’s WVLNT: Wavelength for those who don't have the time. Originally 45 minutes, Now 15! remixes his own seminal work Wavelength.

The picture represents a magnifications of the small brain of the fruit flies, where we can observe a specific group of neurons called dopaminergic neurons. Dopaminergic neurons in the brain regulates several vital behaviors of the fruit fly, from learning and memory, courtship, aggression, locomotion and sleep-wakefullness. It’s amazing how they innervate like a net different areas of the brain responsible of the regulation of the different behaviors.
