# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (June 17, 2012)

* Kanzure shared a livestream link for the American Society for Microbiology conference (http://www.microbeworld.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1204), noting that a group called "Eureka" was in attendance.

* Research on brain network structure was discussed, specifically how patients with cognitive impairment showed lower clustering (brain network segregation) and higher path length (brain network integration) compared to healthy controls, with IQ strongly associated with these network properties (http://cercor.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/10/25/cercor.bhr298.abstract).

* A discussion about Mathematica's development structure revealed it has approximately 30-45 engineers split between Math Kernel and Frontend groups, with annual revenue estimated at around $66M ten years ago ($24M US, $30M Asia, $12M UK).

* A user shared a Reddit post about pulsed transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for multipath time-division multiplexing (http://www.reddit.com/r/tDCS/comments/v7d3d/pulsed_tdcs_for_multipath_tdm/).

* Participants discussed research on lichen polysaccharide sulfate (GE-3-S) showing inhibitory effects on HIV replication in vitro, with the compound suppressing HIV-infected cell formation at specific dosages (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2575016).
