Summary: The increasing volume and complexity of published studies in neuroscience have made it difficult to determine what is known, what is uncertain, and how to contribute effectively to one’s field. Therefore, there is a pressing need for strategies to derive simplified useful representations (i.e. maps) of previous findings and to help experiment planning. Toward these goals, we introduce a framework for classifying experiments and an approach for integrating experimental results based on implicit and explicit research practices in molecular and cellular studies of cognitive function. The development and explicit use of approaches like this one will enable researchers to systematically identify convergent evidence critical for assembling maps of published information. These maps will not only provide succinct summaries of published information, they will also be invaluable during experiment planning.
