Science and Technology of Brain Mapping

What is wrong with the HBP’s “BigBrain Viewer”? I decided to post the description of “Qute Brain Browser” after I saw quite disappointing interface presented by HBP-sponsored BigBrain Viewer, developed using Neuroglancer (open-source WebGL viewer for volumetric data). To avoid possible misunderstandings

This story is a great example of how illiterate bureaucracy, for quite poorly specified reason, was capable to stop a pioneering research and delayed by 30 years the opportunity for the progress in an important area of science. 1. The

The main part of presented algorithm is sequential homotopic thinning transformation, “invented” by a group of mathematicians, including F. Meyer (1976), Ch. Lantuejoul (1978), and headed by J.Serra, from Center for Mathematical Morphology, Fontainebleau, France. Many transformations based on thinning

High-resolution Nissl-stained sections of human brain were downloaded from Allen Brain Atlases portal using published API. Image resolution was 1 micrometer or better. Depending upon the section region, total size of JPEG files varied from 300MB to 1.5 GB. Between

Based on preliminary results of regression analysis, it seems possible to conclude that our initial hypothesis (here) was true: rich-club members areas differ from non-members by different topology of clusterization pattern. Cluster population regression data show that “rich-club” member candidates
