Overview:
A large-scale national brain project was launched in 2014 to understand the overall structure and
mechanisms of the brain comprehensively. The project, called Brain Mapping by Integrated
Neurotechnologies for Disease Studies (Brain/MINDS), specifically aims to elucidate the neural circuits
underlying higher brain functions using unique experimental methods and animal models. This joint
symposium invites young researchers with notable contributions to Brain/MINDS. We want to discuss and
share with participants the necessary technologies, resources, and research measures to advance
innovative brain research further. Toward this goal, Brain/MINDS provides open resources for
cutting-edge technologies and databases, which will help build a collaborative network connecting
scientists in diverse research fields.
