ToolUniverse — Neuroscience Research

What it does

This skill arms an agent with domain-specific workflows for neuroscience research. It instructs the agent to always look up facts in primary databases (PubMed, EuropePMC, Allen Brain Atlas, WormBase, UniProt) rather than guessing, provides computational neuroscience formulas and modelling patterns, and gives structured guidance for neuroanatomy, clinical localization, and neurophysiology problems. It emphasizes Python-driven calculations for quantitative tasks and literature verification for anatomical and clinical claims.

When to use it

Use this skill whenever a user asks neuroscience-focused questions that require accurate anatomy, circuit connectivity, protein/gene interpretation, clinical localization, or quantitative neuronal modelling. Ideal for literature lookups, connectome queries (C. elegans), electrophysiology parameter calculations, and interpreting disease-gene evidence. Avoid using it for casual high-level summaries that don’t require citation.

What's included

• Scripts: none bundled in the skill (has_scripts=false)
• References: none bundled (has_references=false), but the skill prescribes PubMed/EuropePMC/UniProt/WormBase/Allen lookups
• Instructions: step-by-step patterns for computational modelling, look-up-first neuroanatomy workflows, clinical localization heuristics, and neurophysiology equations.

Compatible agents

Best applied with agents that support web/document search and Python execution for numeric work (e.g., Copilot/Codex-style or agent frameworks with Python tool access).
