ORGANIZING THE WEBSITE

We are new to making a website like this. For collecting, organizing and sharing information over the Internet, we have used Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy https://plato.stanford.edu/ as a model, although our effort is small in comparison, and more focused. The data for the “Van Essen Diagram” of the hierarchy of visual areas (Fig. 4 of Felleman & Van Essen, 1991 [FellemanDJ+VanEssenDC-1991]) is another example we have followed, although they emphasize connections between brain areas while we, as circuit designers, are much more concerned with actual numbers. A more recent example, specific to the cerebellum, comes from a collaboration within Europe’s Human Brain Project (Table 1 of D’Angelo et al., 2016 [DAngeloE+11-2016]).

We hope to make the website into a useful source of information about the cerebellum that is easy to navigate and to contribute to. It is focused narrowly on the cerebellum as an associative memory. When you have information that you see missing or in need of updating, please pass it on to us for inclusion in the website–email it to

pseudocerebellum@berkeley.edu

We plan to make submitting to the website more automatic as traffic on the website warrants. Your ideas for making the website more effective are welcome.

The pseudocerebellum project is housed at UC Berkeley’s Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience and is funded from grants from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (Engineering and Information Science/Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience) and DARPA Defense Science Office (Artificial Intelligence Exploration/Virtual Intelligence Processing).
