	107.	Commentary Robustness and fault tolerance make brains harder to study Shyam Srinivasan, Charles F Stevens BMC Biology 2011, 9:46 (29 June 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary A method commonly used to infer functional connectivity in neural circuits, Granger causality, has been put to the test on the well-defined crab pyloric network by Eve Marder and colleagues in a paper in Neural Systems and Circuits. Commenting in BMC Biology, Charles Stevens and Shyam Srinivasan posit that the need for nervous systems to be robust and fault tolerant makes it inevitable that inferential techniques of this kind will be error-prone.

The Dscam expression repertoire seems to differ when exposed to bacteria, Plasmodium berghei and P. falciparum.
