Ontologies in neuroscience and their application in processing questions

Abstract

Neuroscience is a vast, multi-dimensional and complex field of study based on both its medical importance and unresolved issues regarding how brain and the nervous system work. This is because of the huge amount of brain disorders and their burden on people and society. Furthermore, scientist have been excited about the function and structure of brain, ever since it was discovered to be responsible for all our emotions, thoughts and behaviour. Ontologies are concepts whose origins go back to philosophy and the concern with the nature and relation of being. They have emerged as promising tools for assistance with neuroscience research recently and provide additional data on a field of study. ..
