This is the homepage for the NeuronBank project,
an effort to develop an online reference source and informatics tool for
exploring our vast knowledge of identified neurons and the circuits they form.
NeuronBank will organize information about identified neuron location,
physiology, morphology, and connectivity, and help researchers to browse
through known circuits, conduct comparative work between species, and classify
new cell types. You can learn more about the rationale and design of the
project here.

and choose a branch to explore or go to Using NeuronBank to get specific instructions or visit the Help, where you can also see a list of known bugs NeuronBank also has its own Wiki for extended information about any entry� Registered users can contribute to this wiki.
The NeuronBank project is being developed as
a collaborative effort across the Neuroscience Institute and the Computer
Science Department at Georgia
State University. The project team is led by Paul S. Katz, Sushil Prasad, Raj Sunderraman,
and Ying Zhu.
The project is funded by grant from the Human Brain Project (NIH, NIMH R21 MH076753). The project was initiated with a seed grant from the GSU Brains and Behavior program. Additional funding was provided by NSF, NIH/NINDS, and the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience.
We are looking for a post-doctoral associate to join the team and serve on an NSF-sponsored project to develop ontologies. Read more...
