.: History of European Neuroscience
Call for Proposals: FENS Funding for European Neuroscience History Projects in 2014
FENS will carry out this History funding initiative once more in 2013. As in the previous calls, this initiative provides grants for outstanding projects that aim at documenting the history and development of neuroscience in Europe. Projects will be funded by up to € 3000.
The scope of the 2013 FENS History Project grants will particularly support projects in which presentation of historic material such as films, photos, images or histological slides are presented on the web. FENS has created this new page devoted to the history of European neuroscience where finalized projects will be integrated.
Projects for the 2013 call should be made available through the Internet and be completed within 1-2 years. A detailed budget has to be included. The grant is split in two transfers: a first installment as prepayment and a second installment after receiving a midterm report.
Please apply using the application form and send it to history@fens.org.
The deadline for application is September 5, 2013.
Online Library: Downloads of historic books, videos and articles

The International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) has got a History of Neuroscience Programme described as follows:
The mission of the History of Neuroscience Committee is to bring together and publicize relevant aspects of the history of the neuroscience in a concise and clear manner in IBRO’s History of Neuroscience series. In particular, the committee wishes to identify authors who might make interesting contributions to the web site and to encourage them to participate.
Its history of neuroscience page contains the following sections:
- Biographies
- Subject-based Contributions
- Comments
- Distinguished Scientists Interviewed
- Histories of IBRO's Affiliated Organizations
- Links to History Sites
The following links to history sites are listed:

The Society for Neuroscience presents a History of Neuroscience subsection on its About Neuroscience piece http://www.sfn.org/index.aspx?pagename=HistoryofNeuroscience_main. It contains a rich open material, as well as links to valuable sites with historical material.:
SfN maintains this historical material as a resource for neuroscientists and the public. While not comprehensive, the documents chronicle the struggles and accomplishments of a still-young field and highlight major achievements and advances. Most of all, this information conveys the rigor and passion with which neuroscientists pursue scientific discovery.
- Autobiographical Chapters - A six-volume book series detailing the lives and discoveries of eminent senior neuroscientists. Available for download (PDFs).
- Autobiographical Videos - Archival interviews with distinguished senior neuroscientists.
- Classic Papers - A sample of high impact classic papers addressing a range of neuroscience topics. Available for download (PDFs).
- History Resources - A list of neuroscience history resources beyond SfN.
- SfN Presidents - View a list of SfN presidents, photos and years of service included.
- Download Robert W. Doty's chapter on neuroscience (PDF, 2.4 MB) from The History of the APS: The First Century, 1887-1987.*
The homepage of Club Officiel de la Société des Neurosciences Française contains : Articles en ligne with links to a large number of neurohistorical papers in French and/or English as well as Histoire des neurosciences françaises with links, and/or presentations of famous French neuroscientists, and French institutes of neuroscience in French and/or English.
The History of Neuroscience in Newcastle provides the history of neuroscience at Newcastle presented chronologically in 3 phases of time.
