Blue Brain Portal

Resources

The Blue Brain Portal is a newly created knowledge space for neuroscientists.  EPFL's Blue Brain Project recognizes that knowledge sharing is an important driving force to consolidate and promote simulation neuroscience which in turn, is fundamental to understanding the brain as a complex multi-scale system. Therefore, the Blue Brain Portal brings together in one place open-sourced software, tools, models and data, both from us and our collaborators. The aim is for this knowledge to be utilized by both the neuroscientific and the wider scientific community to develop the field of simulation neuroscience. Join Blue Brain’s journey to simulate the brain.  
Models

Models

Multi-scale models of the rat and mouse brain integrate models of ion channels, single cells, microcircuits, brain regions, and brain systems at different levels of granularity (molecular models, morphologically detailed cellular models, and abstracted point neuron models).

Software

Software

Blue Brain’s reconstruction and related simulations are made possible by a comprehensive software ecosystem for each step in the reconstruction and simulation process. Blue Brain systematically releases open source software.

Online Tools

Online Tools

The online tools available to assist users with simulation neuroscience are a collection of platforms and atlases from the Blue Brain and our collaborators.

Data

Data

Data is of vital importance to the study of the Brain.  For neuroscientists in this section, there are ion channel recordings, morphological reconstructions, electrical recordings from neocorticol neurons and molecular properties of neurons.  These are available on Blue Brain platforms and the Human Brain Project Brain Simulation platform.

Online Learning

Online Learning

Simulation Neuroscience is an emerging approach to integrate the knowledge dispersed throughout the field of neuroscience.

Models

Multi-scale models of the rat and mouse brain integrate models of ion channels, single cells, microcircuits, brain regions, and brain systems at different levels of granularity (molecular models, morphologically detailed cellular models, and abstracted point neuron models).

Online Tools

The online tools available to assist users with simulation neuroscience are a collection of platforms and atlases from the Blue Brain and our collaborators.

Online Learning

Simulation Neuroscience is an emerging approach to integrate the knowledge dispersed throughout the field of neuroscience.

Software

Blue Brain’s reconstruction and related simulations are made possible by a comprehensive software ecosystem for each step in the reconstruction and simulation process. Blue Brain systematically releases open source software.

Data

Data is of vital importance to the study of the Brain.  For neuroscientists in this section, there are ion channel recordings, morphological reconstructions, electrical recordings from neocorticol neurons and molecular properties of neurons.  These are available on Blue Brain platforms and the Human Brain Project Brain Simulation platform.
