The Laboratory of NINDS requires a license for software use that provides scientific illustrations. Drawing publication-quality, scientific illustrations was a major hurdle in the past. Scientists usually used generic shapes like circles and squares in generic drawing programs to make rough sketches of biological processes and pathways. Otherwise, scientists need to contact artists for the figures, which is costly and time consuming. This license for software use will be used for creating professional science figures for manuscripts and presentations by researchers at NINDS.
