Neuroscience Information on the Web
- Neuroscience Information FrameworkThe Neuroscience Information Framework is a dynamic inventory of Web-based neuroscience resources: data, materials, and tools accessible via any computer connected to the Internet. An initiative of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, NIF advances neuroscience research by enabling discovery and access to public research data and tools worldwide through an open source, networked environment.
- Neuroscience @ NIHThe NIH is home to one of the largest neuroscience research centers in the world. Over 150 laboratories, originating from eleven different Institutes, conduct research in the basic, translational, and clinical neurosciences.
- The Whole Brain Atlas"Take a road trip of the brain at Harvard Medical School's Whole Brain Atlas. This ambitious research and educational site is a catalog of medical images of actual human brains--from models that are normal and healthy to specimens with diseased, injured, and disordered tissue." -- c|net
- The BRAIN Initiative (NIH)The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® (BRAIN) Initiative is aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of the human brain.
Professional Organizations
The Society for Clinical Neuropsychology, Division 40 of the American Psychological Association, is a scientific and professional organization dedicated to the study of brain-behavior relationships, and the clinical application of that knowledge to human problems.
The Society for Neuroscience is the world’s largest organization of scientists and physicians devoted to understanding the brain and the nervous system.
The American Neurological Association is a professional society of academic neurologists and neuroscientists devoted to advancing the goals of academic neurology; to training and educating neurologists and other physicians in the neurologic sciences; to expanding both our understanding of diseases of the nervous system and our ability to treat them.
The American Society for Neurochemistry advances and promotes cellular and molecular neuroscience knowledge and research and ensures that all of its activities remain open to the full participation of scholars from all backgrounds and nationalities.
The Cognitive Neuroscience Society is committed to the development of mind and brain research aimed at investigating the psychological, computational, and neuroscientific bases of cognition.
The International Brain Research Organization is a global federation of neuroscience organizations that aims to promote and support neuroscience around the world through training, teaching, research, outreach, engagement activities, and scholarship.
