Children who sustain a prenatal or perinatal brain injury in the form of a stroke develop remarkably normal cognitive functions in certain areas, with a particular strength in language skills. A dominant explanation for this is that brain regions from the ...
Over the last decades new technologies have shed the light on an improved understanding of brain structure and function. Recently, an imaging modality referred to as diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) has emerged. By exploiting the natural motion ...
We consider the problem of testing positively dependent multiple hypotheses, assuming that prior information about the dependence structure is available. We propose two-step multiple comparisons procedures that exploit the prior information of the dependen ...
The thick-tufted layer 5 (TTL5) pyramidal neuron is one of the most extensively studied neuron types in the mammalian neocortex and has become a benchmark for understanding information processing in excitatory neurons. By virtue of having the widest local ...
The neocortex is one of the most important brain regions, occupying more than 80% of the brain volume in mammals and contributing massively to its capability of perceiving and interpreting then environment. While it has been extensively studied, it is stil ...
The research community is witnessing expansive efforts aimed at understanding one of the most wondrous manifestations of cognition in nature. The Blue Brain Project and the Human Brain Project in Europe are examples of ambitious drives aimed at building a ...

Computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for determining a distribution of neuronal cells across a portion of a brain are described. One computer-implemented method for determining a target distribution of one or more neuronal cells across a por ...
The project goal was to prove the feasibility of GPU-based tessellation to generate neuron membrane mesh representations from parametric descriptions of neurons. The developed prototype software produces a smooth, continuous and high-fidelity representatio ...
6 The complex relationship between structural and functional connectivity, as measured by noninvasive imaging of the human brain, poses many unresolved challenges and open questions. Here, we apply analytic measures of network communication to the structur ...
Layer 1 of the neocortex is sparsely populated with neurons and heavily innervated by fibers from lower layers and proximal and distal brain regions. Understanding the potential functions of this layer requires a comprehensive understanding of its cellular ...
