Visiome environment: enterprise solution for neuroinformatics in vision science

Abstract

In order to understand the brain function, it is required integration of diverse information from the level of molecule to the level of neuronal networks. However, the huge amount of information is making it almost impossible for any individual researcher to construct an integrated view of the brain. To solve this problem, it is required useful neuroinformatics database and tools for preserving, maintaining and sharing of research accomplishments and resources. In the Neuroinformatics Research in Vision project in Japan, it has been developed an integrated system and tools for neuroinformatics in vision science named “Visiome Environment”.
