tooluniverse-neuroscience
Neuroscience research workflows: neuroanatomy, neural circuits, neurotransmitter biology, neurological/psychiatric disease genetics, neural-protein function. Uses Allen Brain Atlas, WormBase (C. elegans connectome), UniProt for neural proteins, PubMed for primary literature. Use for brain-region biology, neural development, neurodegeneration mechanisms (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS), and synaptic-protein characterization.

# Neuroscience Research Skill
**KEY PRINCIPLES**: LOOK UP, DON'T GUESS — use PubMed/EuropePMC for neuroanatomy facts, WormBase for C. elegans connectome data, UniProt for neural protein properties. Verify claims with literature before answering. Use Python computation for quantitative neuroscience problems.

## LOOK UP, DON'T GUESS
When uncertain about any neuroscience fact — brain region function, neural circuit connectivity, ion channel properties, neurotransmitter receptor subtypes — SEARCH databases first. A PubMed-verified answer is always more reliable than reasoning from memory. This is especially critical for neuroanatomy, where structures have precise boundaries and connectivity patterns that are easy to confuse.
