BigBrain is a freely accessible high-resolution 3D digital atlas of the human brain, released in June 2013 by a team of researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and the German Forschungszentrum Jülich and is part of the European Human Brain Project. [1] The isotropic 3D spatial resolution of the BigBrain atlas is 20 μm, much finer ...
Brain mapping is a set of neuroscience techniques predicated on the mapping of ... the most comprehensive 3D map of the human brain was published by researchers at ...
Surface maps are sometimes used in addition to the 3D serial section maps [3] Besides the human brain, [4] brain atlases exist for the brains of the mouse, [5] rhesus macaques, [6] Drosophila, [7] pig [8] and others. Notable examples include the Allen Brain Atlas, BrainMaps, BigBrain, Infant Brain Atlas, [9] and the work of the International ...
Unveiled in July 2008, the Allen Mouse Spinal Cord Atlas was the first genome-wide map of the mouse spinal cord ever constructed. The spinal cord atlas is a map of genome wide gene expression in the spinal cord of adult and juvenile C57 black mice. The initial unveiling included data for 2,000 genes and an anatomical reference section.
Scientists at the University of Hawaii’s Mānoa Institute for Astronomy (IfA) have used AI to produce the world’s largest 3D catalog of stars, galaxies, and quasars. “Utilizing a state-of ...
An elephant's brain weighs just over 5 kg (11 lb), a bottlenose dolphin's 1.5 to 1.7 kg (3.3 to 3.7 lb), whereas a human brain is around 1.3 to 1.5 kg (2.9 to 3.3 lb). Brain size tends to vary according to body size. The relationship is not proportional, though: the brain-to-body mass ratio varies. The largest ratio found is in the shrew. [57]
A 2-D model of cortical sensory homunculus. A cortical homunculus (from Latin homunculus 'little man, miniature human' [1] [2]) is a distorted representation of the human body, based on a neurological "map" of the areas and portions of the human brain dedicated to processing motor functions, and/ or sensory functions, for different parts of the body.
