Neuroinformatics
Understanding brain function requires the integration of information across many levels Physical and functional Gene to behavior Microscopic and macroscopic
Challenges in brain observation and modeling Structure and organization Operational and functional dynamics Physical, functional, and cognitive
Challenges in scale How to create and maintain of integrated views of the
brain for both scientific and clinical purposes?
