(28 March 2025) Multilevel Human Brain Mapping and Atlas as a Tool Connecting Micro and Macrostructures

Julich Brain is based on the analysis of histological sections of 10 postmortem brains to capture the intersubject variability. The cytoarchitectonic maps serve as a reference for integrating data from different spatial scales and various aspects of brain organization (e.g. connectivity, molecular and genetic maps) and other optical techniques, like 3D Polarized Light Imaging to study the brainʼs fibre architecture, and ultra-high resolution X-ray phase contrast imaging, such as light sheet imaging or two-photon imaging down to the nanometer scale, into a coherent system.

The BigBrain modality, which represents 3D-reconstructed histological datasets with a spatial resolution of 20 micrometers, enables the spatial alignment of Julich Brain data and is openly accessible via the EBRAINS research infrastructure to connect atlas information with a wide range of other data, tools and services using the siibra toolkit.

The symposium will take place on 28 March 2025 from 14:30-16:30 in Göttingen, Germany. It is part of the 16th Göttingen Meeting of the German Neuroscience Society which runs from 25-29 March 2025.

EBRAINS speakers

EBRAINS Joint-CEO Prof. Dr. Katrin Amunts will present 'Brain architecture - from cells to organ' at 14:30. Afterwards, EBRAINS researcher Prof. Dr. Timo Dickscheid will present 'Bridging different levels of brain organization using the siibra toolsuite' at 15:00.
