Join Blue Brain’s journey to simulate the brain with the Blue Brain Portal – a 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.
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).
A collection of platforms and atlases from the Blue Brain and our collaborators to assist users with simulation neuroscience.
Take a massive open online courses taught by a multi-disciplinary team of world-renowned scientists in Simulation Neuroscience. Simulation Neuroscience is an emerging approach to integrate the knowledge dispersed throughout the field of neuroscience.
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 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, the EBRAINS Cellular Level Simulation Platform and the Hippocampus Hub.
Blue Brain has published over 200 papers and pre-prints.
