Featured: Laminar Thickness Profiles
date: Aug 21, 2023
We recently published a study on the variation of cortical laminar structure in the BigBrain dataset. The cerebral cortex consists of six cortical layers which are horizontally superimposed stripes of gray matter with characteristic features such as size, type and density of the neurons.

Architecture and connectivity of the human angular gyrus and of its homolog region in the macaque brain
date: April 2023
The angular gyrus (AG) is a horseshoe-shaped region of the posterior inferior parietal lobe in the human brain. It has attracted major interest since it’s a higher-order associative cortical region that plays a prominent role in the integration of multiple sensory systems.

Primate cerebellar scaling in connection to the cerebrum: a 34-species phylogenetic comparative analysis
date: Mar 2023
The cerebellum has long been viewed as a functionally homogenous structure, only involved in the fine control of the motor system. However, over the last decades it has become increasingly clear that the cerebellum contributes to wide-ranging higher-order associative function, such as abstract reasoning, theory of mind, and affect regulation, as well.

BigBrain Workshop 2023 - Save the date!
date: Oct 5-6, 2023
You are cordially invited to attend the 7th BigBrain Workshop, taking place in the beautiful city of Reykjavik, Iceland. This workshop is an opportunity for the neuroscientific community to come together and present their research, discuss future prospects, and explore how to better leverage high-performance computing and artificial intelligence to create multimodal, multiresolution tools for the high-resolution BigBrain and related datasets.
