This lesson provides an introduction to the course Neuroscience Data Integration Through Use of Digital Brain Atlases, during which attendees will learn about concepts for integration of research data, approaches and resources for assigning anatomical location to brain data, and infrastructure for sharing experimental brain research data.
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 lecture covers a lot of post-war developments in the science of the mind, focusing first on the cognitive revolution, and concluding with living machines.
This lecture provides an overview of depression (epidemiology and course of the disorder), clinical presentation, somatic co-morbidity, and treatment options.
This lesson is part 1 of 2 of a tutorial on statistical models for neural data.
What is the difference between attention and consciousness? This lecture describes the scientific meaning of consciousness, journeys on the search for neural correlates of visual consciousness, and explores the possibility of consciousness in other beings and even non-biological structures.
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.
How does the brain learn? This lecture discusses the roles of development and adult plasticity in shaping functional connectivity.
This lesson goes into the mechanisms behind changes in synaptic function created by learning.
This lesson continues with the second workshop on reproducible science, focusing on additional open source tools for researchers and data scientists, such as the R programming language for data science, as well as associated tools like RStudio and R Markdown. Additionally, users are introduced to Python and iPython notebooks, Google Colab, and are given hands-on tutorials on how to create a Binder environment, as well as various containers in Docker and Singularity.
This lesson contains both a lecture and a tutorial component. The lecture (0:00-20:03 of YouTube video) discusses both the need for intersectional approaches in healthcare as well as the impact of neglecting intersectionality in patient populations. The lecture is followed by a practical tutorial in both Python and R on how to assess intersectional bias in datasets. Links to relevant code and data are found below.
Maximize Your Research With Cloud Workspaces is a talk aimed at researchers who are looking for innovative ways to set up and execute their life science data analyses in a collaborative, extensible, open-source cloud environment. This panel discussion is brought to you by MetaCell and scientists from leading universities who share their experiences of advanced analysis and collaborative learning through the Cloud.
In this hands-on session, you will learn how to explore and work with DataLad datasets, containers, and structures using Jupyter notebooks.
This lesson provides a thorough description of neuroimaging development over time, both conceptually and technologically. You will learn about the fundamentals of imaging techniques such as MRI and PET, as well as how the resultant data may be used to generate novel data visualization schemas.
