A [[connectome]] is a comprehensive map of the neural networks within the [[brain]]. It details the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efferent_nerve_fiber efferent] and afferent pathways within and between brain regions. Functional Connectivity refers to the function of a particular brain region and its information processing role within a distributed neural network. The goal of this project is to create a platform where users can jump into the connectome at any given brain region and visually navigate to upstream and downstream regions; along the way, users can learn about the functional role of each brain region. All information has been collected from empirical sources and scientific databases, in particular, the [http://atlas.brain-map.org Allan Brain Atlas]. | A [[connectome]] is a comprehensive map of the neural networks within the [[brain]].

This project aims to provide annotated sets of molecular pathways involved in neural plasticity underlying learning and memory systems. In general, biological pathways display the series of interactions among molecules resulting in functional changes within cells and neural networks. Currently there are large scale projects dedicated to amassing pathway evidence via high-throughput methods. The goal is to translate this unwieldy biopathway data from several [http://www.genome.jp/kegg/ empirical databases] into visually digestible material, by [[Molecular Pathways|characterizing]] the features of molecular cascades most sensitive to an ''event of interest'' (e.g. fear conditioning or amphetamine addiction). | This project aims to provide annotated sets of [[Molecular Pathways|molecular pathways]] involved in neural plasticity underlying learning and memory systems.
