HIGHLIGHTSOpen science in the makingWill a reputation economy handled via online scientific communities and social networks for researchers be able to replace the traditional credit-by-publishing model? Perhaps, with a new generation, say interviewed researchers in New York Times' fascinating snapshot of the state of open science in 2012. Quicker whole-brain imagingScientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and MIT have developed a quicker method for imaging whole mouse brains; serial two-photon tomography (STP). The procedure is described in a recently published Nature Methods paper. A whole-brain scan can take a mere 6.5 to 8.5 hours at typical resolutions, quick enough to potentially "transform the emerging field of systematic whole-brain anatomy [...] into a routine methodology". NeuroDebian a growing successNeuroDebian provides an integrated platform of neuroscience software tools. Its popularity has grown quickly over the last few years. We interviewed the two NeuroDebian leads Michael Hanke and Yaroslav Halchenko about the project, its past and future.
