BigBrain Maps & Models

Maps of cytoarchitectonic areas, cortical layers, and nuclei in the human cerebral cortex are a key aspect of multi-level brain atlases, and considered a gold standard for describing the cellular organization of the brain. Using modern image processing and Deep Learning methods, we generate highly detailed 3D maps for the BigBrain, which serve as a reference for localizing high-resolution multimodal measurements in a common space and build a basis to study the detailed morphology and architecture of this brain model.
