Check out our work to fully extract spines from EM at booth 3631 at #sfn2025 and learn how to analyse them on our brand new platform for brain simulation openbraininstitute.org/sfn-2025

Excited for what’s coming over the next 6 months

The Open Brain Institute announces the dawn of a new frontier in neuroscience

Neuroscience is entering the digital age!

Today, we proudly launch the Open Brain Institute (OBI)—a revolutionary non-profit organization dedicated to advancing neuroscience from the physical realm into the virtual world.

To conclude the Blue Brain Project last year, composer Hana Ajiashvili presented music she wrote when she came across our visualizations online. It felt like she was making tangible hypotheses about the brain, and reminded me of how we think when we enter the field: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h3I...

An extended and improved CCFv3 annotation and Nissl atlas of the entire mouse brain YouTube video by Blue Brain Project - EPFL

A beautiful video of the Blue Brain Project's improved CCFv3 annotation and Nissl atlas of the entire mouse brain building upon the @alleninstitute.bsky.social atlas. Recommend watching end-to-end. Great work by Sébastien Piluso @cyrillefavreau.bsky.social and others

Neurons warp space and time The messages sent between neurons look something like a Morse code, but the closer one looks the more mysterious the code becomes. The code is called the neural code and is the holy grail in neuroscie...

An old news article describing our finding of time-warped cortical spike time patterns. Looking forward to sharing our exciting new results on this soon
