Mapping the Brain and Its Functions: Integrating Enabling Technologies into Neuroscience Research
Institute of Medicine,Division of Biobehavioral Sciences and Mental Disorders,Division of Health Sciences Policy,Committee on a National Neural Circuitry Database
Significant advances in brain research have been made, but investigators who face the resulting explosion of data need new methods to integrate the pieces of the brain puzzle. Based on the expertise of more than 100 neuroscientists and computer specialists, this new volume examines how computer technology can meet that need.
Featuring outstanding color photography, the book presents an overview of the complexity of brain research, which covers the spectrum from human behavior to genetic mechanisms. Advances in vision, substance abuse, pain, and schizophrenia are highlighted.
The committee explores the potential benefits of computer graphics, database systems, and communications networks in neuroscience and reviews the available technology. Recommendations center on a proposed Brain Mapping Initiative, with an agenda for implementation and a look at issues such as privacy and accessibility.
