Overview:

This Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) encourages computational approaches in fundamental neuroscience research investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms that drive the structure and function of cells and circuits supporting cognitive, affective, and social domains, in both health and mental illness, during early development and across the lifespan.

Background

The investigation of molecular and cellular mechanisms in complex neural systems had been challenging, partly due to technical limitations in acquiring data with high spatiotemporal resolution.  However, recent technological developments bring the promise of accelerated scientific discovery. New molecular manipulation and imaging technologies have been developed that yield large datasets with high cellular, spatial, and temporal precision. These techniques are being employed to investigate how various molecular and cellular processes
