Connectionists: Frontiers Research Topic on “Neuroinformatics of Large-Scale Brain Modelling”: Abstracts due Sep 1

[Kelly Shen]

Dear all,

A reminder that the extended abstract deadline for our special issue is
September 1st. More below:

*****
We are happy to inform you that we have extended the deadline for
submissions to the Research Topic, jointly within Frontiers in
Neuroinformatics and Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, on
“Neuroinformatics of Large-Scale Brain Modelling”.

This Research Topic will document the various ways in which
neuroinformatics approaches are being applied in large-scale brain
modelling, informing readers on both established practices and emerging
techniques.

We seek Original Research, Review, Mini-Review, Hypothesis and Theory,
Perspective, and Opinion articles that cover, but are not limited to, the
following topics:

New, biologically constrained, large-scale brain models and modelling
methodologies
New approaches to parameter optimization, parameter space exploration, and
systematic tracking of simulation behaviour across parameter combinations
Informing neural models with genetic and multi-omic data from large-scale
databases and individual patients/subjects
Systematic computational modelling studies on large numbers of subjects,
and/or using large-scale open-access datasets (HCP, ABCD, etc.)
‘Hybrid’ modelling schemes that combine mean-field with spiking network
models
‘Hybrid’ approaches to defining connectivity in large-scale brain models
(e.g. supplementing tractography with microscopy data for higher-resolution
subcortical connectivity structure)
Simulations using high-resolution neuroanatomical data from initiatives
such as BigBrain, Allen Institute, etc.
‘High-density’ (large number of regions; small parcels) connectome-based
neural mass modelling
Ontologies, systems, and tools for definition and specification of
large-scale neural models
Comparisons between detailed spiking/morphological simulations and neural
mass model simulations
Comparisons between models based on high-resolution and low-resolution
Allen atlas connectivities
Other neuroinformatics challenges and solutions in large-scale brain
simulations

If you are considering submitting, please submit an abstract by 1st Sept
2021. Deadline for submission of full manuscripts is 15th Dec 2021.

We look forward to hearing from you and sharing this exciting work with the
community.

Your Research Topic co-editors,
