NIN — Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience
Overview
The Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience is a KNAW neuroscience institute in Amsterdam that operates two open research infrastructure assets: the Netherlands Brain Bank, which distributes postmortem brain tissue to researchers worldwide, and the Spinoza Centre for Neuroimaging, the shared advanced neuroimaging facility for the Amsterdam research community. NIN was formed in 2005 from a merger of the Netherlands Institute for Brain Research (NIBR) and the Netherlands Ophthalmic Research Institute (NORI) and conducts research spanning cellular and systems neuroscience, sleep science, and visual neuroscience. It maintains a GitHub organisation for publicly released analysis software and has an active contributor community for BIDS and NWB data workflows.
