Scirus "Scirus is the most comprehensive science-specific search engine on the Internet. ...Scirus searches over 167 million science-specific Web pages" Neuroguide "A searchable and browsable index of neuroscience resources available on the Internet: Neurobiology, neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, psychology, cognitive science sites and information on human neurological diseases." Brain Architecture Management System "The Brain Architecture Management System (BAMS) is designed to be a repository of information about brain structures from different species, and has a set of inference engines for processing the neurobiological data. BAMS contains to date four interrelated modules: (brain regions, major fiber tracts, and ventricles), Cell Types, Relations (between structures from different neuroanatomical atlases), and Connections. The system contains to date on the order of 10,000 reports of connections between different brain structures in the rat, as collated from the literature. Users can view projection patterns as reflected in the literature and as associated with records of brain structures inserted in the system. Users can also construct reports of connectivity matrices related to brain structures of interest.
