Research focusNeuroscience research has been producing many important results. However, such a tremendous amount of evidence makes difficult to integrate individual results into our understanding of brain as a whole system. In order to overcome the difficulty, an organized framework for the integration of the evidence is necessary. This has required the establishment of a new field called 'Neuroinformatics'. The worldwide recognition of the importance of neuroinformatics (NI) has prompted the establishment of the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF). In response to the call for international cooperation, the Japanese government has launched the Neuroinformatics Japan Center (NIJC) at RIKEN BSI as the Japan Node (J-Node). |
