List of neuroscience databases

A number of online neuroscience databases are available which provide information regarding gene expression, neurons, macroscopic brain structure, and neurological or psychiatric disorders. While some databases contain descriptive and numerical data, others include postmortem brain sections or 3D MRI and fMRI images.

A list that is regularly updated can be found at the Neuroscience Information Framework database list, which contains over 2200 databases relevant to neuroscience.
