Description
Summary:A finite element model of the cerebral cortex enables a structured visualization of its gross anatomy and provides access to the neuronal databases associated with each unite element of tissue. Partitioned by finite elements, the distributed, web-based microstructure database serves as a tool for organizing neurons and neuronal forests, and for modeling local cortical microstructure by wiring up the forests. Embedding the database in XML adds structure and web-accessibility to the inherent information. When integrated with the brain tissue scanner, the distributed, web-based microstructure database serves as a comprehensive infrastructure for organizing brain tissue at three different hierarchical levels: volume, neuronal morphology, and network.
