The multilevel human brain atlas in EBRAINS - an overview

Presentation by Katrin Amunts (Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine, Structural and functional organisation of the brain (INM-1), Research Centre Jülich, Germany, C. u. O. Vogt-Institute for Brain Research University Hospital Düsseldorf, Germany, EBRAINS AISBL, Brussels, Belgium) and Timo Dickscheid (Institute of Computer Science, Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Germany, Helmholtz AI, Research Centre Jülich, Germany)
Brain atlases enable the localization and analysis of data from different sources in a common reference system, making them an essential research tool for understanding the structural and functional organization of the brain. EBRAINS offers a multilevel atlas of the human brain, which captures different principles of brain organization in a comprehensive anatomical framework. It integrates the Julich-Brain probabilistic cytoarchitectonic maps and the BigBrain microscopic 3D model as core elements, and links them with multimodal data features describing microstructure, connectivity and function. The atlas is deeply integrated into the EBRAINS infrastructure, making use of its sustainable data sharing capabilities and cloud resources. This session provides a conceptual introduction to the multilevel human brain atlas, and an overview of the EBRAINS research infrastructure as a sustainable platform for accessing, operating and developing the atlas.
