Abstract: Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time. Such an understanding can provide profound insights into our humanity, leading to fundamentally new computing technologies, and transforming the diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders. Modern ICT brings this prospect within reach. The HBP Flagship Initiative (HBP) thus proposes a unique strategy that uses ICT to integrate neuroscience data from around the world, to develop a unified multi-level understanding of the brain and diseases, and ultimately to emulate its computational capabilities. The goal is to catalyse a global collaborative effort. During the HBP’s first Specific Grant Agreement (SGA1), the HBP Core Project will outline the basis for building and operating a tightly integrated Research Infrastructure, providing HBP researchers and the scientific Community with unique resources and capabilities. Partnering Projects will enable independent research groups to expand the capabilities of the HBP Platforms, in order to use them to address otherwise intractable problems in neuroscience, computing and medicine in the future.

INO’s Experiments/Theoretical Study correlated:
Morphofunctional imaging of human and mouse brain

The Scientific Results:
1) Multi-Modal Optical Imaging of the Cerebellum in Animals
2) Clearing of fixed tissue: a review from a microscopist´s perspective
3) Sistema e metodo di misura della focalizzazione di uno strumento ottico
4) Confocal multispot microscope for fast and deep imaging in semicleared tissues
5) Whole-Brain Vasculature Reconstruction at the Single Capillary Level
