The International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF), together with its 18 member countries, coordinates collaborative informatics infrastructure for neuroscience and manages scientific programs to develop standards for data sharing, analysis, modeling, and simulation in order to catalyze insights into brain function in health and disease. INCF is an international organization launched in 2005, following a proposal from the Global Science Forum of the OECD to establish international coordination and collaborative informatics infrastructure for neuroscience. INCF is hosted by Karolinska Institutet and the Royal Institute of Technology, and the Secretariat is located on the Karolinska Institute Campus in Solna. INCF currently has 18 member countries across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Each member country establishes an INCF National Node to further the development of Neuroinformatics and to interface with the INCF Secretariat. The mission of INCF is to share and integrate neuroscience data and knowledge worldwide, with the aim to catalyze insights into brain function in health and disease.

  • The 20 Jean-Louis Signoret Neuropsychology Prize of the Fondation Ipsen Is Awarded to Prof. Patricia K. Kuhl (University of Wash
    Press release The 20th Jean-Louis Signoret Neuropsychology Prize of the Fondation Ipsen is awarded to Prof. Patricia K. Kuhl (University of Washington, Seattle, USA) Paris (France), 2 December 2011 – The international jury under the presidency of Prof. Albert Galaburda (Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA) awarded on November 29th, 2011 the 20th Jean- Louis Signoret Neuropsychology Prize of the Fondation Ipsen (20.000€) to Prof. Prof. Patricia K. Kuhl (University of Washington, Seattle, USA) for her work that played a major role in the understanding of language acquisition and the neural bases of language. Infants are born with innate abilities to easily identify every sound of every language, however, by the end of the first year of life, infants show a perceptual narrowing of their language skills. Their ability to discern differences in the sounds that make up words in the world’s languages shrinks. Nonnative sounds are no longer differentiated. This developmental transition is caused by two interacting factors: the child’s computational skills and their social brains. Computational skills allow rapid statistical learning and social interaction is necessary for this computational learning process to occur. Neuroimaging using Magnetoencephalography (MEG) may help explain the neuroplasticity of the child’s mind versus the more expert (but less open) mind of the adult, and account for the “critical period” for language. She also studied the early development of the brain of bilingual children. By 10 to 12 months bilingual infants do not show the perceptual narrowing of the monolingual children. This is another piece of evidence that experiences shape the brain.

He was recruited from the University of Munich. His appointment and that of Professor Martin KoItzenburg from the University of Wurtzburg to a new joint Chair with the Institute of Child Health into Pain Research are tangible signs of the international ambitions of the Institute. We believe that as science becomes more international and relies increasingly on intellectual collaborations of the highest standards we cannot afford to recruit other than the very best candidates to our established positions, which implies a field that is itself international. The third established Chair, that in Neuropsychiatry marks the end of a process that began with Dr. Eliot Slater, one of the fathers of British biological psychiatry. He was not accorded professorial status at Queen Square, despite funding being available, as a result of arcane considerations in the 1960's. The appointment of Professor Ray Dolan to the UCL Kinross Chair of Neuropsychiatry is particularly welcome in this respect and also because it signals with some formality the renewed interest in a biological understanding of brain dysfunction in psychiatric disorders.

  • The Human Brain Project: Winner of the of the Largest European Scientific Funding Competition
    The Human Brain Project: winner of the of the largest European scientific funding competition MONTREAL - The European Commission has officially announced the selection of the Human Brain Project (HBP) as one of its two FET Flagship projects. The new project will federate European efforts to address one of the greatest challenges of modern science: understanding the human brain. The goal of the Human Brain Project is to pull together all our existing knowledge about the human brain and to reconstruct the brain, piece by piece, in supercomputer-based models and simulations. The models offer the prospect of a new understanding of the human brain and its diseases and of completely new computing and robotic technologies. On January 28, the European Commission supported this vision, announcing that it has selected the HBP as one of two projects to be funded through the new FET Flagship Program. Federating more than 80 European and international research institutions, the Human Brain Project is planned to last ten years (2013-2023). The cost is estimated at 1.19 billion euros. The project will also associate some important North American and Japanese partners. It will be coordinated at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, by neuroscientist Henry Markram with co- directors Karlheinz Meier of Heidelberg University, Germany, and Richard Frackowiak of Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV) and the University of Lausanne (UNIL). Canada’s role in this international project is through Dr. Alan Evans of the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) at McGill University. His group has developed a high-performance computational platform for neuroscience (CBRAIN) and multi-site databasing technologies that will be used to assemble brain imaging data across the HBP.
