Workshop: Resource Database of Identified Neurons for Neuroscience Research: April 28-30, 1994: Washington, D.C

9411967雅各布斯科学可以在一个学科内获得的知识被组织起来并提供详细分析时取得巨大的进步。就像分子遗传学自引入电子数据库以来取得了长足的进步一样，如果研究人员能够获得适当的数据库，神经科学将会得到进步。在这份提案中，格温·雅各布斯博士概述了一系列研讨会，神经生物学家和信息科学家将在这些研讨会上聚集在一起，确定如何建立单独可识别的神经细胞的电子数据库。几种不同的研究生物体的数据库现在是可能的，可能包括关于每个细胞的详细结构、生理、神经化学和遗传信息。这些数据库将推动对脑细胞功能或神经网络行为的研究。这些电子存储的信息可以通过互联网提供，以帮助研究人员和教育工作者。***

9411967 Jacobs Science can make great progress when the knowledge acquired within one discipline is organized and made accessible for detailed analysis. Just as molecular genetics has made great strides since the introduction of electronic databases cataloguing the sequences of genes from animals used in research, neuroscience would be advanced if appropriate databases were made available to researchers. In this proposal, Dr. Gwen Jacobs outlined a series of workshops in which neurobiologists and information scientists will gather to determine how to institute electronic databases of individually identifiable nerve cells. Databases for several different research organisms are now possible, and might include detailed structural, physiological, neurochemical, and genetic information about each cell. The databases would advance studies of brain cell function, or the behavior of neural networks. This electronically stored information could be made available over internet to aid both researchers and educators. ***
