VBT - Region specific brain models

Region-specific brain models reveal distinct cerebellar dynamics

Researchers developed tailored computational mean-field brain models to capture how different cerebellar regions generate and shape neural activity. Integrated into The Virtual Brain platform using EBRAINS infrastructure, this work enables biologically grounded, multi-scale brain simulations for clinical applications.
