Researchers from the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-1) and the Cécile and Oskar Vogt Institute for Brain Research have remapped the human premotor cortex, identifying seven clearly distinguishable subareas.

From 1 December 2025, visitors to the EBRAINS website will enjoy an improved and more intuitive user experience. The revamped website features clearer navigation and a modern design that makes it easier to explore everything EBRAINS has to offer. A restructured sitemap includes new branches with a plethora of subpages addressing different target audiences.

The EBRAINS Summit 2025 taking place 8-11 December is a major international event bringing together neuroscientists, policymakers, technologists and innovators to explore the future of brain research and its impact on society. The Summit will be held at the EGG Conference Centre in Brussels, Belgium.

Estela Suarez, joint lead of the Novel System Architecture Design department at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre and Associate Professor at the University of Bonn, is a leading figure in European high-performance computing (HPC) innovation.

Onur Güntürkün is Professor of Biopsychology at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. The question, “Can different types of brains produce identical cognitive performances?” constitutes a central focus of his research.

Calling all neuroscience, clinical, and tech experts: contribute to EBRAINS’ 10-year roadmap 2026-2036 and help shape Europe’s future digital research infrastructure.

EBRAINS is pleased to announce the selection of seven User Talks for the EBRAINS Summit 2025, taking place from 8–11 December in Brussels, Belgium.

A new study that started in the Human Brain Project (HBP) - and was enabled by EBRAINS - introduces a framework for including astrocytes into large-scale simulations of brain networks.

Berlin, Germany — The 9th BigBrain Workshop (27-29 October 2025) in Berlin brought together leading researchers to explore the frontiers of ultra-high-resolution, multimodal brain data, modelling, and mapping, and to strengthen the links between EU and Canadian neuroscience.

An international team of researchers has successfully applied the recently developed imaging technique ComSLI (Computational Scattered Light Imaging) to brain sections prepared using a wide range of methods, enabling the visualization of the brain’s complex fiber network with micrometer precision. This achievement marks an important advance that opens new possibilities for neuroscience and biomedical research—such as renewed, in-depth analyses of existing tissue sections. Their findings have now been published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications.

Brussels, 22–23 September 2025 - The Virtual Brain Twin (VBT) consortium gathered in Brussels for two days of intensive discussions, reviewing progress and shaping the next phase of one of Europe’s most ambitious neuroscience projects.
