While computational neuroscience is flourishing in many regions globally, it is still in its infancy in the Arab world. There is a large divide between the quantitative and biological sciences in virtually all academic institutions in the Arab region, coupled with limited funding, and a lack of access to computational neuroscience expertise. This results in poor computational neuroscience research output in the region relative to the other sciences. We founded the Arabs in Neuroscience initiative to bridge this gap, helping aspiring Arab neuroscientists from diverse backgrounds to kick-start t
