First sentence: We see the structuring of masses of data by a variety of computational models as essential to the future of neuroscience; thus, we define neuroinformatics as the integration of: (1) the use of databases, the World Wide Web, and visualization in the storage and analysis of neuroscience data with (2) computational neuroscience, using computational techniques and metaphors to investigate relations between neural structure and function.
