Show Notes

Neuroscience Daily for 02 June follows 3 stories from r/neuro and r/neuroscience, moving through tau cell death, stdp simulator, eeg artifact reliability.

1. Tau Cell Death

This story is about a Medical Xpress report on a possible tau-driven gene-expression cascade inside Alzheimer's neurons that may end in cell death. The piece says tau may do more than accumulate as a marker of disease; it may help switch on a chain reaction inside vulnerable cells that changes how genes are regulated.

2. STDP Simulator

This story is about a Neuron Simulator update for spike timing dependent plasticity, or STDP, from r/neuro. The post says the latest version now runs on 64-bit Windows and can display STDP in the simulation.

3. EEG Artifact Reliability

A neuroscience forum post asks whether the Zeto One EEG system handles artifacts well, especially when a patient blinks or moves. The poster says they saw a review claiming that even a single eye blink could leave prolonged artifact across all channels, and they want to know whether that is typical in real lab use.
