Reconstructing the brain: from image stacks to neuron synthesis

Sean Lewis Hill, Julian Charles Shillcock

Large-scale brain initiatives such as the US BRAIN initiative and the European Human Brain Project aim to marshall a vast amount of data and tools for the purpose of furthering our understanding of brains. Fundamental to this goal is that neuronal morpholo ...

The Human Brain Project: Creating a European Research Infrastructure to Decode the Human Brain

Martin Telefont

Decoding the human brain is perhaps the most fascinating scientific challenge in the 21st century. The Human Brain Project (HBP), a 10-year European Flagship, targets the reconstruction of the brain's multiscale organization. It uses productive loops of ex ...

Multiphoton microscopy in brain imaging

Graham Knott, Bohumil Maco, Ludovico Silvestri

Brain imaging is becoming an important field in the frame of the neurophotonics in correlations with other medical ones in neuroscience studying functional and morphological aspects. In this presentation an overview on multi photon imaging of the brain wil ...

Feeding the human brain model

Sean Lewis Hill

The goal of the Human Brain Project is to develop, during the next decade, an infrastructure capable of simulating a draft human brain model based on available experimental data. One of the key issues is therefore to integrate and make accessible the exper ...

Task-Driven Activity Reduces the Cortical Activity Space of the Brain: Experiment and Whole-Brain Modeling

Patric Hagmann

How a stimulus or a task alters the spontaneous dynamics of the brain remains a fundamental open question in neuroscience. One of the most robust hallmarks of task/stimulus-driven brain dynamics is the decrease of variability with respect to the spontaneou ...

Large-scale extraction of brain connectivity from the neuroscientific literature

Jean-Cédric Chappelier, Sean Lewis Hill, Martin Telefont, Renaud Luc Richardet

In neuroscience, as in many other scientific domains, the primary form of knowledge dissemination is through published articles. One challenge for modern neuroinformatics is finding methods to make the knowledge from the tremendous backlog of publications ...

The future of human cerebral cartography: a novel approach

Henry Markram, Richard Frackowiak

Cerebral cartography can be understood in a limited, static, neuroanatomical sense. Temporal information from electrical recordings contributes information on regional interactions adding a functional dimension. Selective tagging and imaging of molecules a ...

Impact of Networked Cognition and Learning on Engineered Systems [Further Thoughts]

Ali H. Sayed

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 ...

Neuroscience thinks big (and collaboratively)

Henry Markram

Despite cash-strapped times for research, several ambitious collaborative neuroscience projects have attracted large amounts of funding and media attention. In Europe, the Human Brain Project aims to develop a large-scale computer simulation of the brain, ...
