After introducing the local epileptor model in the previous two videos, we will now use it in a large-scale brain simulation. We again focus on the paper The Virtual Epileptic Patient: Individualized whole-brain models of epilepsy spread. Two simulations with different epileptogenicity across the network are visualized to show the difference in seizure spread across the cortex.

This lecture gives an overview on the article Individual brain structure and modelling predict seizure propagation, in which 15 subjects with epilepsy were modelled to predict individual epileptogenic zones. With the TVB GUI we will model seizure spread and the effect of lesioning the connectome. The impact of cutting edges in the network on seizure spreading will be visualized.

This lecture briefly introduces The Virtual Brain (TVB), a multi-scale, multi-modal neuroinformatics platform for full brain network simulations using biologically realistic connectivity, as well as its potential neuroscience applications (e.g., epilepsy cases).

This lecture presents two recent clinical case studies using TVB: stroke recovery and dementia (due to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)). Using a multi-scale neurophysiological model based on empirical multi-modal neuroimaging data, we show how local and global biophysical parameters characterize changes in individualized patient-specific brain dynamics, predict recovery of motor function for stroke patients, and correlate with individual differences in cognition for AD patients.

The Track Collection Builder is a new tool in the UCSC Genome Browser that provides a way to create grouped collections of sub-tracks with native tracks, custom tracks, or hub tracks of continuous value graphing data types.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 2:18

This tutorial demonstrates the visibility controls on the Genome Browser, showing the effect on BED tracks, wiggle tracks, and Conservation tracks. It also discusses supertracks and composite tracks.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 14:30

This tutorial describes the isPCR tool and demonstrates how to use it for predicting the size and location of PCR products and visualizing the genomic location on the genome. The tool operates on DNA templates for all organisms, and on human and mouse DNA/RNA. It also demonstrates how to use the Browser to obtain DNA sequences from the genome.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 8:01

This tutorial describes the dbSNP resources in the UCSC Genome Browser, including display conventions and the subdivision of the data into several useful subset tracks, especially the Common SNPs. There is also a discussion about changes to the genome assemblies from one version to another, and of two ways to navigate between different assemblies of the human genome in the Browser.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 17:41

This tutorial demonstrates the UCSC Genome Browser Data Integrator, a tool that allows combination and intersection of data from up to five primary tables. In the example, data are extracted showing SNPs, genes, and phenotypes from a genomic region.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Duration: 6:24

This tutorial shows how to obtain coordinates of genes, then input those coordinates into the UCSC Genome Browser for display. The regions do not have to be continuous in the genome.
