Research Highlights

As the field of neuroscience advances, researchers must develop theories to navigate the data that are the result of this progress and develop conceptual frameworks to make sense of it all. NSF’s NeuroNex program is a response to this ever-growing need.

For the first time, researchers at The Rockefeller University have managed to study how brain cells in mice interact as the animals move about freely in their environment. The findings through this method — recently published in Nature Methods — could someday

Big imaging data — comprising complex and enormous datasets of raw data and metadata — are often difficult to store and analyze. In fact, such data that can run into terabytes per day, simply can’t be stored or accessed on
