It seems to me that this newsgroup is the ideal place for exchange of ideas
about construction of databases of brain information. I maintain a mailing
list at MIT of interested people (around 80), but there has not been much
activity on it recently (brain-database at athena.mit.edu). I would happily give
up the maintenance chore if everyone found discussion easier here.
Under the Human Brain Project initiative now being coordinated by the NIMH,
there will be groups building databases of brain information from many sources
- anatomy, neurophysiology, clinical imaging, neurochemistry, development,
etc. How all this information is going to be cross-referenced (much less
synthesized) is very much an unsolved issue.
My personal interest is organizing anatomical information, and I have been
building a multimedia database system (NeuroDatabase) toward that end for
several years.
