Welcome Home!


This blog has only one purpose. To report and analyze neuroscience research done or being done in India.

What is being done in India regarding neuroscience? Yes we have NIMHANS, NCBS, NBRC and Jiwaji University and few other important institutes. What is being done there? In fact what has India offered to neuroscience till now?

To answer this question, I typed "India" as affiliation and neuroscience as subject in SCOPUS (ofcourse it did not pick up many papers which have relation to neuroscience especially molecular biology ones, and including Rajan and Uppi bhalla's Science paper!), neverthless it returned almost 7200+ articles. Number of neuroscience related articles being published in neuroscience related journals is increasing exponentially. Looks like there was a sudden boom at around mid 70s and around late 90's. I dont know the reason! But neuroscience is here to stay. So lets get to work!
