BAMS Neuroanatomical Ontology is a lightweight ontology designed specifically for neuroscience. It contains a complete set of concepts that describe the structure of the rat CNS and a growing set of concepts that describe different neuron populations in the rat CNS.
In order to view the concepts, their definitions and relations, use the tree below.
