Denver, Colorado

Studies of structure and function in the brain have yielded an ever-increasing flood of information in recent years. New technologies for imaging and monitoring brain activity have yielded powerful tools for understanding the chemical and biological bases for neurological function. With all of this has come the need to manage and understand the vast quantities of data being generated both in neuroscience and from other areas of biological investigation, such as genomics. Neuroinformatics represents a confluence of studies in neurological and cognitive functioning, and the science of managing and using data to reveal new understandings. This seminar provides an opportunity to hear about many of the leading areas of research in neuroscience that are emerging from the use of these powerful new informatic tools.
