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.
