[Murg] Connectionists: NEURON Summer Course registration deadline approaching (fwd from ted.carnevale@yale.edu)

Hi Eugene and Jesse,

I was quite happy to see the clarity and precision of the hippocampal 
images produced. It is great to be able to zoom into the individual 
synapses so well. For myself the problem is currently simply one of 
expertise. Mine is at the level of dendritic/axonal structure (see
http://rak.minduploading.org:8080/caspan) and neuronal systems (see 
http://askja.bu.edu:8080/catacomb/). I have yet to reach the level where I 
can recreate something using this amazing morphological detail about the 
individual cells. So, I tend to observe until I can make more useful 
comments.

Cheers,
        Randal
