A principal aim of this website is to develop and provide access to archival resources relevant to the recent history of neuroscience. Thus selected topics of current interest and activity are offered with the intention of continued expansion while recognizing that a comprehensive survey will remain beyond our scope. Sites already in existence and chosen examples of broad areas of research will be supplemented by topical project surveys generated by members of the Society for Neuroscience, largely under the auspices of its History Committee. Some links may be to electronically published material requiring subscription access and generally available in biomedical libraries. The list below of available subjects and those in progress should be perused periodically for updates.

The History of Neuroscience Committee has been identifying specific topics for an in depth presentation. An important aim of this website is to provide a selected list of those areas of active research for which links and databases of extensive and updated content are available to identify individuals or groups of scientists to prepare articles, archival materials and resources that will be periodically but continuously revised and updated.

Clinical Surveys
	Neurofibromatosis Type 2
		This is a relatively rare neurological disease that has been reviewed recently by a leading neurosurgeon, Dr. Leonard I. Malis, presenting an unusually large collection of cases derived from a long career that has attracted numerous patients with benign cranial nerve tumors. Dr. Malis, recently retired from the Chair of Neurosurgery at Mount Sanai Medical Center, New York City, is one of the pioneers of microneurosurgey and the design of new surgical instruments and devices. He prepared this review specifically for user-friendly web access. His most recent book in Acoustice Neurons, Elsevier Science, 1999. This article was selected as an example of web access to a review that may be more useful and comprehensive than a survey of print journals.
Brain Mapping
	Human Brain Project
	International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM)
		Technical advances in brain imaging in living subjects has enabled the recent growth of anatomical study of large numbers of human subjects and has extended the means for examining functional correlates. This subject is added to weekly in the published literature. Actively updated websites with extensive links, The Human Brain Project and The UCLA Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, are presented here as examples of web presentation of a topic which is an especially active research area.
Brain Collections
	Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections
		A national resource for brain anatomy including images of stained brain sections and related information has been provided for over 100 mammailian species, including man.
