Originally, I designed the openneuronproject.com as a way of searching for neural connectivity of a specific nucleus/location within the brain/periphery. However, after adding complex structures like the hypothalamus and the amygdala to the database, which…

The above semi-interactive neural network diagram shows the interactions of the cell types within the cochlear and the cochlear nuclei. As I recently discussed, fitting this interactivity into this website was a bit more complicated…

Anyone “following” this website will probably be thinking I’ve given up and wandered off. It feels like a long time since I’ve managed to add any new content. But, I’ve been learning to use javascript…

I’ve finally stumbled upon this talk from Sebastian Seung about mapping the connectome – all of the synaptic connections within a brain – which makes the Open Neuron Project feel small by comparison. But, I won’t…

Now I’ve reached 150 Neurons/Nuclei in the list, I thought it’s time for a quick update: As work on the list has progressed, I have had to make a few compromises, mainly because we simply…

Welcome to The Open Neuron Project! If you have found your way here, you are viewing the early stages of my attempts to simplify some of the vast amount of data in the field of…

While reading about the visual pathway, I guess I realised the futility of this exercise. Classifications by scientists rarely appear logical to those outside the field, I was looking for information about different types of…
