The project was started by Eugene Izhikevich, a scientist at the Neurosciences Institute, headquartered in San Diego, in February 2006. The Scholarpedia was limited in the initial phase on the topic of computational neuroscience. Meanwhile, the topics of dynamical systems, computational intelligence, physics and astrophysics have been added.
Among the authors of the Scholarpedia include eighteen Nobel laureates and four carriers of the Field Medal. Among other things, well-known scientists such as John Hopfield or Wolf Singer involved with articles from the field of neuroscience.
