This message announces the posting of a new WWW resource in
neuroscience.

The APLYSIA Hometank is a Web-based information resource serving
neurophysiology and the invertebrate neuroscience community. Its URL is
http://www.med.cornell.edu/Aplysia/Hometank.html

One major role of the APLYSIA Hometank is serving as a window on the
emerging APLYSIA project. This project is designing a neuroscience
database that will use neurophysiological data to identify and
characterize individual nerve cells of molluscs. The methods are being
designed to be applicable to nearly all neurophysiological data,
whether derived from molluscs or other nervous systems.

Of special interest to the babel community, the APLYSIA database will
incorporate model files based on Genesis (and Neuron, and SNNAP, ...)

The APLYSIA Hometank will serve as well as a network resource for
molluscan neurobiology, and will include links to--and information
about--forthcoming meetings, informal research communications, and
other areas of interest to neuroscientists.

APLYSIA is a recursive acronym for APLYSIA Proficiently Lets You Scan
Identifying Attributes, representing a goal of the database project,
and represents as well a major prototype organism for the database, the
marine mollusc Aplysia californica.
