Neuroinformatics

The field covers three primary areas:

• Neuroscience data- and knowledge-bases capable of managing the full scope and complexity of the nervous system, from molecular to behavioral levels;
• Tools for the acquisition, analysis, and visualization of nervous system data; and
  
• Theoretical, computational, and simulation environments for modeling and understanding the brain.

Neuroinformatics research is uniquely placed at the intersection of biomedical and behavioral sciences, physical and mathematical sciences, computer science, and engineering. Integration of these disciplines will accelerate scientific and technological progress, resulting in major medical, social, and economic benefits.
