"Our lab recently completed a study investigating several genes associated with mouse grooming behavior.

NIF's user friendly interface and linkage to many of the important databases used in our study gave us access to information we otherwise would not have found. "

 

—Andrew Roth, Dept. of Pharmacology, Tulane University

"...a great tool (and a great way of promoting neuroscience resources: we got our highest peak of visits the day we were included in the NIF registry!!!)"

Johnson & Johnson is using NIF for its data ecosystem.


"A pleasure to use. NIF is a critical initative at this juncture. Keep up the good work."

- Ramachandran

"I really like having multiple atlases all in one place."

"I have really only ever worked off of PubMed before and had no idea of all of these sites and databases that would have general information, instead of individual article information.  Allen Bran Atlas is a favorite to have access to now."

"I like that NIF holds a wide variety of information (gene expressions to neuroanatomy) (functions to diseases) (mice to humans)."

"There are a lot of resources in the registry, and the great thing about the NIF is that I can access them from one website. "

"I was looking for the 'common naming project' by its former name 'shared naming project' . . . .  I could not find it in Google, as I either got too many results that all seemed irrelevant, or no results when I added quotes.  I looked in NIF for shared naming project and the cluster engine showed the link to common naming project at the top of the list.  It was exactly what I was looking for."

"I like that resources pop up in separate windows: multiple resources can be compared, and I never lost my search results (and therefore my train of thought...)"

"I’ve been visiting your blog for a while now and I always find a gem in your new posts. Thanks for sharing."

"I think you all are doing a wonderful job - this site is a great service! I am very pleased our research is included, and yes, what you have there is 'OK' with me. We will add a link to NIF on our web page. Thank you!"

 

— Dr Clancy from Translating Time (nif-0000-00533)

Excellent resource and easy to use - thanks! I'll spend many hours reading here.

-Dr. L. Rose Bruce

"Thanks for the inclusion into the NIF.  It is a very valuable resource for the Software, and, best of all, your website is absolutely awesome!"
