This talk covers the various concepts, motivations, and trends within the neuroscientific community related to the sharing and integration of brain research data.
This lesson focuses on the neuroanatomy of the human brain, delving into macrostructures like cortices, lobes, and hemispheres, and microstructures like neurons and cortical laminae.
This lesson provides an introduction to the European open research infrastructure EBRAINS and its digital brain atlas resources.
In this lesson, attendees will learn about the challenges in assigning experimental brain data to specific locations, as well as the advantages and shortcomings of current location assignment procedures.
This lesson covers the inherent difficulties associated with integrating neuroscientific data, as well as the current methods and approaches to do so.
Attendees of this talk will learn about QuickNII, a tool for user-guided affine registration of 2D experimental image data to 3D atlas reference spaces, which also facilitates data integration through standardized coordinate systems.
This lesson provides an overview of DeepSlice, a Python package which aligns histology to the Allen Brain Atlas and Waxholm Rat Atlas using deep learning.
This talk describes the NIH-funded SPARC Data Structure, and how this project navigates ontology development while keeping in mind the FAIR science principles.
This lecture covers structured data, databases, federating neuroscience-relevant databases, and ontologies.
This lecture provides an introduction to optogenetics, a biological technique to control the activity of neurons or other cell types with light.
This primer on optogenetics primer discusses how to manipulate neuronal populations with light at millisecond resolution and offers possible applications such as curing the blind and "playing the piano" with cortical neurons.
This lecture focuses on how the immune system can target and attack the nervous system to produce autoimmune responses that may result in diseases such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis, and lupus cerebritis manifested by motor, sensory, and cognitive impairments. Despite the fact that the brain is an immune-privileged site, autoreactive lymphocytes producing proinflammatory cytokines can cause active brain inflammation, leading to myelin and axonal loss.
This lecture provides an introduction to the study of eye-tracking in humans.
From the retina to the superior colliculus, the lateral geniculate nucleus into primary visual cortex and beyond, this lecture gives a tour of the mammalian visual system highlighting the Nobel-prize winning discoveries of Hubel & Wiesel.
From Universal Turing Machines to McCulloch-Pitts and Hopfield associative memory networks, this lecture explains what is meant by computation.
In an overview of the structure of the mammalian neocortex, this lecture explains how the mammalian cortex is organized in a hierarchy, describing the columnar principle and canonical microcircuits.
The retina has 60 different types of neurons. What are their functions? This lecture explores the definition of cell types and their functions in the mammalian retina.
Optical imaging offers a look inside the working brain. This lecture takes a look at orientation and ocular dominance columns in the visual cortex, and shows how they can be viewed with calcium imaging.
Functional imaging has led to the discovery of a plethora of visual cortical regions. This lecture introduces functional imaging techniques and their teachings about the visual cortex.
This lecture explains these ideas and explores the task of characterizing neuronal response properties using information theory.
