New EBRAINS 2.0 Open Call project enriches Human Brain Atlas with neurovascular data to advance stroke research

Led by Dr. Emma Muñoz-Moreno and her team at IDIBAPS in Barcelona, the project aims to better understand the vascular diversity underlying neurovascular diseases such as stroke.

Using imaging data from more than 4,000 patients, the researchers will create group-wise probabilistic maps and 3D reconstructions of brain vasculature associated with specific diagnostic features, such as stroke location and size. These new datasets will be integrated into the EBRAINS Human Brain Atlas, providing an open access resource to investigate how vascular variability relates to brain anatomy, function, and disease.

This addition to EBRAINS will support the development of more realistic computational models of blood flow, helping researchers to simulate disease mechanisms and treatment effects more effectively.
