Research Resources
Comprehensive Resources
- Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF)
The Neuroscience Information Framework (NIF) is an online portal, data sharing platform and customized search engine for neuroscience-related data, tools, literature and web sites. It is the largest source of neuroscience information on the web. - NCBI Resource Guide
(Including Genome Assemblies and Resources, the Mouse Transcriptome Project, the Mammalian Gene Collection, Model Organisms, Tools for Data Mining, Databases including GenBank, NIH GWAS, Single Nucleotide Polymerism, Gene Expression Omnibus, Homologene - Blueprint Resource List
(Including Brain Tissue Resources, Animal Resources, Imaging Resources, Neuroinformatics Resources) - e-Source: Behavioral and Social Science Research
Authoritative answers to methodological questions on behavioral and social science research. With contributions from a team of international experts, e-Source provides the latest information on addressing emerging challenges in public health.
