Summary

To expand and improve the GO biological processes terms and annotations for neurological processes including the core cellular processes for synaptic transmission, through to some of the higher order brain processes like cognition.

Personnel

GO

David, Tanya

external experts

  • Dr. John Chua (GWDG) - main contact
  • Dr. Mario Albrecht (Max Planck Institute)

Main interest is in biological processes concerning the synapse, particularly the presynaptic active zone (human). See their recent review below for examples of genes and processes.

The architecture of an excitatory synapse.
Chua JJ, Kindler S, Boyken J, Jahn R.

The other collaborating group are interested in higher neurological processing e.g. cognition and perception

  • Someone from NIF?
