Imaging the Anatomical and Functional Brain Micro-Organization
Explore cutting-edge techniques for imaging the anatomical and functional micro-organization of the brain in this 55-minute seminar presented by Dr. Nikolaus Weiskopf from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. Delve into advanced imaging methods such as multi-parameter mapping (MPM), in-vivo histology using MRI (hMRI), and high-field 7T MRI with motion correction. Discover how these techniques reveal intricate details of brain structure, including myelin distribution, iron content, and short association fibers. Learn about the correlation between quantitative MRI and histological findings, and how these imaging approaches can predict functional organization like retinotopy. Gain insights into the evolution of hominoid brain connectomics and the latest developments in microscopic resolution iron mapping. This comprehensive seminar covers a wide range of topics from basic principles to cutting-edge applications, making it valuable for neuroscientists, radiologists, and researchers interested in advanced neuroimaging techniques.
