Neuromythopedia

The Neuromythograph is the knowledgebase that serves as the foundation for neuromythography. It bridges neuroscience and the mental world using a set of archetypal assignments to individual brain areas, neurotransmitters, and receptors, representing a hypothetical role that each plays in the psyche.

The word Neuromythograph is capitalized to indicate its status as proprietary, copyrighted intellectual property. Its content is curated, and neuromythographers propose additions, analogous to how Linus Torvalds curates pull requests for the Linux kernel. The word neuromythography is not capitalized, as it is a field of study.

Neuromythography is the study of neuroscience, the mind, and spirituality using archetypal personifications of biological entities connected via a relational graph.

Neuronames is a brain anatomy ontology created at the University of Washington starting from 1991.

Neurosynth was created in 2012 using automated text analysis pipelines. The Neurosynth database has ingested more than 14,000 studies, extracted the activation fMRI coordinates, and associated each of these activations to a set of concept keywords. This allows one to click on one of the 150,000 voxels in the brain map, and retrieve a set of studies or keywords associated with that pixel. Neurosynth provides a popular resource for researchers to identify literature to include in metastudies of a brain area location.
