Informatics in neuroscience

The application of informatics to neuroscience goes far beyond 'traditional' bioinformatics modalities such as DNA sequences. In this review, we describe how informatics is being used to study the nervous system at multiple levels, spanning scales from molecules to behavior. The continuing development of standards for data exchange and interoperability, together with increasing awareness and ac...

Voxels in the brain: neuroscience, informatics and changing notions of objectivity.

In the 1990s, the 'Decade of the Brain', a number of digital and electronic resources have been created to enable the rationalization and integration of the various sub-fields of neuroscience. This approach has been described as 'neuroinformatics'. An important subset of tools (atlases of the brain) developed in the Human Brain Project is examined in detail in order to understand how the use of...

Introduction: In recent decades, nursing education is developing and expanding rapidly as a part of higher education system around the world. Despite tremendous advances in medical sciences in Iran, nursing informatics is still in its early years. Starting this field is necessary for nursing services. It can be used in educational, research, clinical and managerial issues. This study aimed at d...

When Informatics Meets Neuroscience: Software and Statistics for Human Brain Imaging

Human language as one of the most complex systems has fascinated scientists from various fields for decades. Whether we consider language from a point of view of a classical linguistics, psychology, computational linguistics, medicine or neurolinguistics, it keeps bringing up questions such as ”How do we actually comprehend language in our brain?” The most interesting achievements often result ...
