Neuro-Ontologies

Neuro-ontologies are structured frameworks that organize and categorize information about the brain, nervous system, and neurological conditions. They define relationships between different concepts—like brain regions, diseases, or symptoms—using formal language, making complex neurological knowledge consistent and accessible. These ontologies help researchers, clinicians, and developers share data, improve understanding, and develop better diagnostics and treatments by creating a common "dictionary" for neuro-related information. Essentially, neuro-ontologies act as detailed maps that connect various neurological concepts, enabling more effective communication and discovery in neuroscience and medicine.
