Description
Current state of neuroscience in Croatia
Chair: Goran Sedmak
In this session three distinguished speakers will present the current state of neuroscience in Croatia. Professor Miloš Judaš will present Croatian Center of Excellence in basic, clinical and translational neuroscience. Professor Milan Radoš will talk about current advances of neuroimaging in Croatia. Andrija Štajduhar will present a novel approach in analyzing histological images using neural networks and deep learning.
The ZCI-Neuro is one of ten Croatian centers of excellence in all research fields (and the only one in neuroscience). It represents a network of 13 institutions and has been funded by European Regional Development Fund (Operational Program Competitiveness and Cohesions, grant agreement No. KK.01.1.1.01.0007, CoRE-Neuro). The core research problem and task is to develop innovative, systematic...
For the last two decades, our research team has been working on applying histological and neuroradiological methods in studying the complex processes of proliferation, migration, and differentiation, all of which are key to understanding both normal and abnormal perinatal human brain development. We believe that it is possible to substantially improve the sensitivity and the specificity of the...
The complexity of the cerebral cortex underlies its function and distinguishes us as humans. Here, we present a principled veridical data science methodology for quantitative histology that shifts focus from image-level investigations towards neuron-level representations of cortical regions, with the neurons in the image as a subject of study, rather than pixel-wise image content. Our...
