Die Erforschung der Welt in unserem Kopf ist eines der spannendsten und brisantesten Projekte der Wissenschaft. Längst tragen nicht mehr nur Philosophen, Psychologen und Pädagogen, sondern auch Biologen, Mediziner und KI-Forscher dazu bei. Die Disziplinen häufen immer mehr Wissen an – auch über die Grenzen von Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften hinweg. Das darf nicht unkommentiert bleiben, so lautet die Idee von Brainlogs. Ob freier Wille oder Neuro-Enhancement, Online-Dating oder Alzheimer-WG: Was immer Psyche und Gehirn betrifft – wir spießen es auf. Und laden jeden ein, mit uns zu diskutieren! Unsere Blogger sind Meinungsbildner auf ihren Gebieten. Sie suchen sich ihre Themen selbst und sind ungebunden darin, was und wie sie schreiben. Brainlogs bildet die größte Community zu psychologischen und neurowissenschaftlichen Themen in der deutschsprachigen Blogosphäre. ... [Information des Anbieters]
Neurophilosophy is a weblog about molecules, minds and everything in between. I aim to produce well-written and easily accessible articles about all aspects of neuroscience, so that I might help to improve public understanding of it. This blog has been featured for two consecutive years in the Open Lab annual anthologies of the best science blogging: "The Discovery of the Neuron" was featured in Open Lab 2006 and "An Illustrated History of Trepanation" in Open Lab 2007. ...

ModelDB is a curated database of published models in the broad domain of computational neuroscience. It addresses the need for access to such models in order to evaluate their validity and extend their use. It can handle computational models expressed in any textual form, including procedural or declarative languages (e.g. C++, XML dialects) and source code written for any simulation environment. The model source code doesn't even have to reside inside ModelDB; it just has to be available from some publicly accessible online repository or WWW site. ModelDB is curated in order to maximize the scientific utility of its contents. The ideal model entry would contain "original" (author-written) source code, especially if it works and reproduces at least one figure from a published article. Original source code has tremendous value because it is what the authors used to generate the simulation results from which they derived their published insights and conclusions. High quality "third party" re-implementations of published models are also relevant, especially those involving models that are of wide interest. ... [Information of the supplier]
Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) 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, the Neuroscience Information Framework advances neuroscience research by enabling discovery and access to public research data and tools worldwide through an open source, networked environment. ...

Thinking, sensing, learning, remembering - all mental functions reside within the brain. At the same time, this organ is probably the most complex structure that evolution has ever produced. Understanding the brain is the prerequisite for creating new methods for prevention and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. It may also help developing new strategies for learning and teaching. It may even be used for the design of new, 'intelligent' technical devices, such as neuroprostheses or more powerful computer systems. For investigating the brain, the interdisciplinary approach of computational neuroscience, in which experts in biology, physics, psychology, medicine, mathematics and engineering join forces, holds especially promising perspectives. By combining experiment, data analysis, theoretical modelling and computer simulations, computational neuroscience allows translating basic research to targeted applications. Within the framework of the funding initiative "National Network Computational Neuroscience", the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research supports the development of this field in Germany. Besides its research activities, training and support of young researchers is an additional central goal of the Bernstein Network. ... [Information of the supplier]
These websites contain tables of the new terminology for the avian brain and information relevant to nomenclature of the avian brain. Its current purpose is to serve as a communication means by which scientists can become more knowledgeable about the avian brain, exchange ideas, and formulate proposals for changing the existing nomenclature. Additionally there are links and references to brain atlases and to laboratories studying avian brains. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
Genes to Cognition (G2C) is a neuroscience research programme with the dual aim of discovering fundamental biological principles and important insights into brain disease. G2C is an international collaborative program initiated by Dr. Seth Grant and supported by the Wellcome Trust following the discovery that multiprotein complexes formed by intracellular proteins and neurotransmitter receptors were important for neuronal plasticity and behaviour. Multiprotein complexes are involved with dozens of brain diseases, control multiple types of behaviours and are involved with the responses to drug treatments of mental disorders. Evolutionary studies show ancient forms of the complexes evolved over a billion years in single cell animals and may represent the origin of the brain. The long term goal is to understand the molecular basis of the extraordinarily complex brain of humans, how this complexity evolved, what it confers on behaviour and why brain evolution made us susceptible to mental illness. The G2C project has a unique database called G2Cdb that houses data resources from the research program and G2C has a very interesting educational program called G2COnline. ...

The global scale of neuroinformatics offers unprecedented opportunities for scientific collaborations between and among experimental and theoretical neuroscientists. To fully harvest these possibilities, coordinated activities are required to improve key ingredients of neuroscience: data access, data storage, and data analysis, together with supporting activities for teaching and training. Focusing on the development and free distribution of tools for handling and analyzing neurophysiological data, G-Node aims at addressing these aspects as part of the International Neuroinformatics Coordination Facility (INCF) and the German Bernstein Network for Computational Neuroscience (NNCN). G-Node also serves as an international forum for Computational Neuroscientists that are interested in sharing experimental data and tools for data analysis and modeling. G-Node is funded through the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and hosted by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Bernstein Network Computational Neuroscience was established in Germany in 2004. Its core elements are the Bernstein Centers for Computational Neuroscience in Berlin, Freiburg, Göttingen, Heidelberg-Mannheim, Munich and Tübingen. The network is complemented by 'Bernstein Partner' projects, consisting of five Bernstein Groups and eleven Bernstein Collaborations. Understanding the brain is the prerequisite for creating new methods for prevention and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. It may also help developing new strategies for learning and teaching. It may even be used for the design of new, 'intelligent' technical devices, such as neuroprostheses or more powerful computer systems. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Göttingen Meeting of the German Neuroscience Society is with almost 2.000 attendees one of the largest neuroscience events in Europe. The conference will take place in the Central Lecture Hall Building of the University of Göttingen in the City Center. The venue offers a large area for exhibition, mixed with posters and coffee points. The deadline for abstract submission and early registration is 15 October, 2012. ...
