NeuroMat data-management tools to help treating neurological injuries

Researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the University of São Paulo (USP) have collaborated to develop open-access, data-sharing computational tools, that could lead to progress in understanding and treating neurological lesions, especially damages of a network of nerves called brachial plexus. The development of these tools remains a keystone in the scientific project of NeuroMat, the Research, Innovation and Dissemination Center for Neuromathematics, that is coordinated by Prof. Antonio Galves and that was established in 2013 at USP, with funding from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).

On NeuroMat

NeuroMat is a research center established in 2013 at the University of São Paulo that is dedicated to integrating mathematical modeling and theoretical neuroscience. Among the core missions of NeuroMat are the creation of a new mathematical system to understanding neural data and the development of neuroscientific open-source computational tools. The research center is headed by Prof. Antonio Galves, from USP's Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, and is funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP).
