Welcome to the moderated usenet group bionet.neuroscience. This group has been created for the exchange of scientific ideas under a multi-disciplinary rubric of neuroscience and will necessarily reflect the diversity that is now inherent in the field. The group, while welcoming and encouraging the participation of computer scientists, will not focus on artificial neural networks, as there are newsgroups already on the Usenet dedicated to this and related topics. Rather, scientists such as physiologists, computational neuroscientists, molecular biologists, and behavioral scientists will be encouraged to interact through this medium to discuss the function, evolution, and structure of biologic nervous systems. Bionet.neuroscience will also be the place for researchers to sound out novel theories and to facilitate collaborations. Discussions of new papers and abstracts will be appropriate.
