The SfN Neuroscience Database Gateway (NDG) is a pilot project developed by the Brain Information Group (BIG). BIG, a working group chaired by Floyd Bloom, was formed by SfN's Council during the presidency of Huda Akil with support from the Wadsworth Foundation. This working group was charged with evaluating the current status of neuroscience databases; assessing future directions of neuroscience data management, data sharing, and database interoperability; and promoting enhanced awareness of the potential for databases to benefit the neuroscience community.

Part of the mission of the Neuroscience Information Framework is to extend the capabilities of this gateway by growing the number of listings, enhancing the metadata stored for each entry, and improving the query facilities.
