The Unifying Cortical Column Model Poster Series - Part 2

The Unifying Cortical Column Model Poster Series - Part 2

With more than twenty posters being produced by the Blue Brain Project, on the 14th October SfN 2012 saw a great deal of the BBP this year. This enormous poster series displayed the building of the cortical column model from the bottom up - including the reconstruction of the neuron types to attain their morphologies (called the M-types), the establishment of their electrical patterns (called the E-types), the combination of M- and E- types to get the ME-types, the placement of neurons, the connectivity and interaction between neurons and how all of this goes in to produce the unifying Blue Brain cortical column model. For those who did not get to attend SfN 2012, a series of short videos will become available successively, of which this is just the first, that document this poster series. This video describes the composition of the unifying column model in terms of its dimensions, cell densities and cell types.
