Structural and Functional Organisation of the Brain (INM-1)

The Institute of Neurosciences and Medicine (INM-1) consists of 9 Working groups and 2 teams.

"Julich-Brain" is the name of the first 3D atlas of the human brain, which depicts the variability of the brain structure with micoscopic resolution.

HIBALL builds on INM-1's collaboration with McGill University around the 20-micron BigBrain model and will enanble the development of a 3-D atlas of the human brain at cellular resolution level.

The INM-1 creates a digital brain atlas in 3D, which links the collected knowledge of brain research spatially precise. The atlas is a contribution to the European flagship "Human Brain Project" and part of the new EU research platform EBRAINS.

The INM-1 builds 3D models of the human brain at the level of individual cells and nerve fibers by processing terabytes of image data. This is only possible by developing complex distributed workflows on the Supercomputing systems in Jülich
