TL;DR: BigBrain is a free, publicly available tool that provides considerable neuroanatomical insight into the human brain, thereby allowing the extraction of microscopic data for modeling and simulation, and enables testing of hypotheses on optimal path lengths between interconnected cortical regions or on spatial organization of genetic patterning.

Abstract: Reference brains are indispensable tools in human brain mapping, enabling integration of multimodal data into an anatomically realistic standard space. Available reference brains, however, are restricted to the macroscopic scale and do not provide information on the functionally important microscopic dimension. We created an ultrahigh-resolution three-dimensional (3D) model of a human brain at nearly cellular resolution of 20 micrometers, based on the reconstruction of 7404 histological sections. “BigBrain” is a free, publicly available tool that provides considerable neuroanatomical insight into the human brain, thereby allowing the extraction of microscopic data for modeling and simulation. BigBrain enables testing of hypotheses on optimal path lengths between interconnected cortical regions or on spatial organization of genetic patterning, redefining the traditional neuroanatomy maps such as those of Brodmann and von Economo.

Accuracy and precision in super-resolution MRI: Enabling spherical tensor diffusion encoding at ultra-high b-values and high resolution
TL;DR: In this paper, a super-resolution reconstruction framework was proposed for brain microstructure imaging and the performance with respect to signal accuracy and precision was investigated using strictly controlled phantom experiments, showing that the SRR approach improves accuracy by facilitating a more beneficial trade-off between spatial resolution and diffusion encoding strength before the noise floor affects the signal.
AtOM, an ontology model for standardizing use of brain atlases in tools, workflows, and data infrastructures
Heidi Kleven,Thomas R. Gillespie,Lyuba Zehl,Timo Dickscheid,Jan G. Bjaalie,Maryann E. Martone,Trygve B. Leergaard +6 more
TL;DR: The Atlas Ontology Model (AtOM) as discussed by the authors is a standard for representing brain atlases, which has been proposed to accelerate analysis, sharing, and reuse of neuroscience data.

Explosive Synchronization and Multistability in Large Systems of Kuramoto Oscillators with Higher-Order Interactions
01 Jan 2022
TL;DR: In this article , higher-order interactions between three or more oscillators are considered and their effect on the macroscopic dynamics of coupled phase oscillator systems are explored, revealing a natural mechanism for nonlinear phenomena that includes abrupt (i.e., explosive) synchronization transitions and extensive multistability.

Engineering optimization of decompressive craniectomy based on finite element simulations.
TL;DR: The results show that the optimal size of the unilateral skull opening is usually between 130-180 cm² and these openings are more beneficial than the currently analysed bifrontal openings and could have a more complex nonlinear dependence on the input data.

A tension-based theory of morphogenesis and compact wiring in the central nervous system.
TL;DR: Many structural features of the mammalian central nervous system can be explained by a morphogenetic mechanism that involves mechanical tension along axons, dendrites and glial processes.

Mapping human cortical areas in vivo based on myelin content as revealed by T1- and T2-weighted MRI
TL;DR: The overall pattern in the myelin maps also has important correlations with the developmental onset of subcortical white matter myelination, evolutionary cortical areal expansion in human compared with macaques, postnatal cortical expansion in humans, and maps of neuronal density in non-human primates.

Human primary auditory cortex: cytoarchitectonic subdivisions and mapping into a spatial reference system.
TL;DR: In future, the transfer of in vivo structural and functional data into the same spatial reference system will enable accurate comparisons of cytoarchitectonic maps of the primary auditory cortex with activation centers as established with functional imaging procedures.

V3D enables real-time 3D visualization and quantitative analysis of large-scale biological image data sets
TL;DR: V3D-Neuron can precisely digitize the morphology of a single neuron in a fruitfly brain in minutes, with about a 17-fold improvement in reliability and tenfold savings in time compared with other neuron reconstruction tools.
