BAMS is also an online knowledge management system designed to handle neurobiological information at different levels of organization of the vertebrate nervous system (NS). It handles data and metadata collated from original literature, or inserted by scientists that is associated to four levels of organization of the vertebrate NS: expressed molecules, neuron types and classes, brain regions, and networks of brain regions.

BAMS invites and encourages neuroscientists to help populate BAMS with connectivity and cell type data. This is the only way such an ambitious undertaking can move toward being comprehensive.

If you would like to set up an account in the system to insert data either in the public part of BAMS, or in the personal account, please contact the system administrator. If you are registered as a collator of BAMS, you can start inserting gene expression data in your Personal account. If you would like to use the newly implemented Personal Workspace, to receive updates about new features and tools added to BAMS, or to know when new data is inserted please go to the Registration page. You can use the Personal Workspace to save your searches of brain regions, neuroanatomical connections, and molecules.
