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.
How does the brain learn? This lecture discusses the roles of development and adult plasticity in shaping functional connectivity.
The "connectome" is a term, coined in the past decade, that has been used to describe more than one phenomenon in neuroscience. This lecture explains the basics of structural connections at the micro-, meso- and macroscopic scales.
EyeWire is a game to map the brain. Players are challenged to map branches of a neuron from one side of a cube to the other in a 3D puzzle. Players scroll through the cube and reconstruct neurons with the help of an artificial intelligence algorithm developed at Seung Lab in Princeton University. EyeWire gameplay advances neuroscience by helping researchers discover how neurons connect to process visual information.
This module explains how neurons come together to create the networks that give rise to our thoughts. The totality of our neurons and their connection is called our connectome. Learn how this connectome changes as we learn, and computes information.
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.
