In the recent decade; as vast amounts of diverse data about the brain were gathered by many
research groups, the problem of how to integrate the data from thousands of publications in order
to enable efficient tools for further research; was raised. The biological and neuroscience data are
highly interconnected and complex, and by itself represents a great challenge for scientists
Combining informatics research and brain research provides benefits for both fields of science.
On one hand, informatics facilitates brain data processing and data handling, by providing new
electronic and software technologies for arranging databases, modeling and communication in
brain research. On the other hand, enhanced discoveries in the field of neuroscience will invoke
the development of new methods in information technologies.
