Significant advances in brain research have been made, but
investigators who face the resulting explosion of data need new
methods to integrate the pieces of the "brain puzzle." Based on the
expertise of more than 100 neuroscientists and computer
specialists, this new volume examines how computer technology can
meet that need. Featuring outstanding color photography, the book
presents an overview of the complexity of brain research, which
covers the spectrum from human behavior to genetic mechanisms.
Advances in vision, substance abuse, pain, and schizophrenia are
highlighted. The committee explores the potential benefits of
computer graphics, database systems, and communications networks in
neuroscience and reviews the available technology. Recommendations
center on a proposed Brain Mapping Initiative, with an agenda for
implementation and a look at issues such as privacy and
accessibility. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary Introduction
