BRAINetwork was the brainchild of the vice-chancellor of Universiti Sains Malaysia, Tan Sri Professor Dzulkifli Abdul Razak

The Brain Science research cluster [BRAINetwork] is an innovative, transdisciplinary initiative, which encourages and supports an integrated research network focused on all aspects of the nervous system structure, function, and development.

This cluster promotes integrative approaches to brain science research ranging from fundamental mechanisms of neuronal function at the molecular level to clinical research in higher brain functions as well as the humanities and education. Activities of this cluster will be focused towards integrating fundamental, developmental and clinical research as well as generating and promoting awareness of brain research. It aims to promote collaborative, transdisciplinary brain science research by serving as an organizational catalyst for research projects funded by a variety of public and private agencies and foundations. Central to the concept of this cluster is the development of new knowledge and tools for the understanding of the complexities of the human brain and because of its commitment towards research and towards generating a substantial body of knowledge and awareness in the brain sciences, this cluster will be known as : BRAINetwork: an acronym for Brain Research And Information Network.

Universiti Sains Malaysia in it's role as an APEX university has made a special commitment to developing neuroscience with the belief that this is the final frontier of knowledge towards understanding humanity and how the brain thinks. The Brain Research And Information Network [BRAINetwork] is a reflection of that strong commitment. It began with a broad initiative in 2005 which then focused on transdisciplinary research in the neurocognitive sciences via the BRAINetwork Centre for Neurocognitive Science [BRAINetwork CNS]
