Finding Risk in All the Right Places

In this issue of Neuron, Cruchaga et al. (2013) identify genetic variability linked to altered levels of tau protein in cerebrospinal fluid. They show that the same genetic variants can also confer risk for Alzheimer's disease.

Looking for food in all the right places?

Examining a potential functional role for growth hormone secretagogue receptors in the hippocampus, Diano and colleagues (Diano et al., 2006), demonstrate novel actions of the orexigenic peptide ghrelin in hippocampal synaptic architecture, LTP, and learning and memory. These data suggest functional links between metabolic signaling and higher neural function.

Looking for TALENT in all the wrong places! Finding the talent you need!

Defining Talent Let’s define talent as a combination of three things what we know via training, education and experience, what we like to do, and what we can handle in terms of complexity, and then, let’s define jobs in the same way what you must know, what you must do, and what level of complexity is involved. Once this is done, we can easily put round pegs in round holes, square pegs in squar...

Big Data versus the Crowd: Looking for Relationships in All the Right Places

Classically, training relation extractors relies on high-quality, manually annotated training data, which can be expensive to obtain. To mitigate this cost, NLU researchers have considered two newly available sources of less expensive (but potentially lower quality) labeled data from distant supervision and crowd sourcing. There is, however, no study comparing the relative impact of these two s...
