Local Service Providers are institutions, facilities, competence centers and groups that possess unique capabilities for top of the line neuroscience, including but not limited to databases, tools and softwares, advanced technologies, expertise and personnell, and can employ such capabilities to deliver accessory services to EBRAINS.
The '3D-Polarized Light Imaging' hub at the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-1) at the Forschungszentrum Jülich in Germany offers hands-on insights into brain fibre architecture research at microscopic scales based on unstained histological brain sections.
The Basal Ganglia Modeling Center in Stockholm is co-hosted at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Karolinska Institute (KI). This modelling Hub facilitates modelling and simulations of the basal ganglia, using a data-driven approach.
The Cerebellar Modelling Hub is based at UNIPV and performs multiscale modelling, spanning from neurons and microcircuits to large-scale networks and the whole brain.
The combination of focused ion beam (FIB) milling and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a method that permits the rapid and automatic serial reconstruction of large tissue volumes.
The Hippocampus Hub provides an online, interoperable environment dedicated to the construction of biophysically and morphologically accurate hippocampal neuron models.
The Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) has vast experience in coordinating the commercial and non-commercial exploitation of neuroscientific tools and services through the EBRAINS infrastructure.
Light-Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy of cleared brain samples offers the unique opportunity of exploring brain complexity on large scales yet at cellular resolution.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for non-invasive visualization of organs and tissue and their anatomical and functional characterization.
NEST Simulator is a free and open-source software designed for the simulation of large-scale spiking neural networks.
The Virtual Brain Hub, hosted by INS at Aix-Marseille University, integrates cutting edge computational neuroscience with multimodal neuroimaging to create personalized whole brain models, termed Virtual Brain Twins (VBTs), reducing risk and advancing precision medicine.
Two-photon imaging and ensemble recordings, both conducted in behaving, task-performing animal models, are illuminating our understanding of how cognitive, perceptual and motor functions originate from the behaviour of large, cooperating populations of neurons.
The Virtual Brain Cloud service provides a GDPR compliant secure processing environment for compute intensive simulation of Human Digital Twins containing personal health data.
The Hub “Visualization” at the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain, offers a visual insight into the brain data.
