Abstract (EN): This paper describes the present state of evolution of the "Brain Imaging Network Grid" (BING) project in Portugal. This network is composed of 5 nodes connected through a Gbps dark fiber bitways and is served by two clusters and (-)60 TBytes of storage. A distributed information system to support operations and manage the BING community is already in place and further developments to evolve the infrastructure to provide computational neurosciences services are under way and described in the present paper. Moreover, we undercover the architecture that we are implementing that includes the intention to add BING resources to the EGEE node IEETA/UA has been exploring since 2005 under the EGEE Biomed VO. Other aspects of the BING infrastructure evolution aimed to constitute a Grid virtual community in brain imaging are presented and discussed.
