Topic: brain mapping

Neuroscientist George Paxinos speaks with Thanos Chatziandreou about brain mapping, consciousness and the questions that remain open in neuroscience. The Greek-language conversation also considers neurodegenerative disease, prevention, AI and the relationship between scientific knowledge, human behaviour and responsibility for the future.

E11 Bio is hiring a hands-on senior research associate to own rodent perfusion, fixation, stereotaxic and retro-orbital injection, tissue-quality optimization, and animal-colony workflows. The position supports an interdisciplinary neuroscience program developing scalable mammalian brain mapping and connectomics technology.

In this webinar, Dr Ye Tian and A/Prof Andrew Zalesky will present new research on mapping the functional architecture of the human subcortex. They used 3T and 7T functional MRI from more than 1000 people to map one of the most detailed functional atlases of the human subcortex to date. Comprising four hierarchical scales, the new atlas reveals the complex topographic organisation of the subcortex, which dynamically adapts to changing cognitive demands. The atlas enables whole-brain mapping of connectomes and has been used to optimise targeting of deep brain stimulation. This joint work with P

Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) techniques, including transcranial alternating and direct current stimulation (tACS and tDCS), are non-invasive brain stimulation technologies increasingly used for modulation of targeted neural and cognitive processes. Integration of tES with human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides a novel avenue in human brain mapping for investigating the neural mechanisms underlying tES. Advances in the field of tES-fMRI can be hampered by the methodological variability between studies that confounds comparability/replicability. To address the t
