Mission

The mission of the History of Neuroscience Committee is to bring together and publicize relevant aspects of the history of the neuroscience in a concise and clear manner in IBRO’s History of Neuroscience series. In particular, the committee wishes to identify authors who might make interesting contributions to the web site and to encourage them to participate.

This is not only relevant with respect to articles about famous scientists, but also articles dedicated to those less well-known neuroscientists who have made important contributions in the field ("hidden local heroes"). In addition, information regarding the roots and definitions of words currently used in neuroscience, such as synapses, dendrites, neurofilaments, dopamine, glutamate receptors, schizophrenia and regeneration, are particularly welcome.
