It's not exactly a neuroscience group but you may find much interesting reading in the notesfile for "sci.nanotechnology".

>>Does anyone know of a Neuroscience newsgroup? Anyone willing to moderate one? >>It is the decade of the brain, after all... Two suggestions (or maybe more if I really get rolling...) 1) Check out the bionet.groups. I do not believe that there currently exists a bionet.neuro or something akin, but it would be an ideal location to set it up. The discussions on these groups are rather like solar activity: nothing for some time, then a large eruption of traffic. There are some very eminent folks out there who read bionet.stuff but ignore sci.bio as too damn noisy and not signal-y enough. 2) There are groups devoted to neural nets and assorted ai (artificial intelligence) issues. They are in the comp. hierarchy. If you don't have access to bionet groups, I know the fellas in charge and could pass you along to them, but I'm leery of posting their addresses here. Drop me e-mail if you need it, and if the traffic gets absurd, I'll post 'em.

And I would request from the start that we kill all artcles pertaining to human monogamy and the nature of same. :-) I enjoy sci.bio but some of these threads manage to weave themselves into cumbersome tapestries.

As another interested neuroscientist, I would also support the formation of a Neuroscience newsgroup. How do you go about this, i.e. where should a call for votes go. Ian Musgrave
