Mapping neuron positions to curved cortical surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivation: Real cortical tissue curves and folds according to experiment data. However, the cortical slice model is organized in flat layers currently. This project would extend the cortical slice model in order to be able to specify arbitrary curvatures to the cortical layers and investigate the effect of curvature and folding on neuron density and layer morphology.

(2013) Mapping the human cortical surface by combining quantitative T1 with Retinotopy. We combined quantitative relaxation rate (R 1 = 1/T 1) mapping—to measure local myelination—with fMRI-based retinotopy. Gray– white and pial surfaces were reconstructed and used to sample R 1 at different cortical depths. Like myelination, R 1 decreased from deeper to superficial layers. R 1 decreased passin...
متن کاملCortical Surface Flattening: a Discrete Conformal Approach Using Circle Packings
The locations and patterns of functional brain activity in humans are difficult to compare across subjects because of individual differences in cortical folding and the fact that functional foci are often buried within cortical sulci. Cortical flat mapping is a tool which can address these problems by taking advantage of the two-dimensional sheet topology of the cortical surface. Flat mappings ...

متن کاملGlobally Optimal Cortical Surface Matching with Exact Landmark Correspondence
We present a method for establishing correspondences between human cortical surfaces that exactly matches the positions of given point landmarks, while attaining the global minimum of an objective function that quantifies how far the mapping deviates from conformality. On each surface, a conformal transformation is applied to the Euclidean distance metric, resulting in a hyperbolic metric with ...
