| The UNAF laboratory, located in the Service Hospitalier
Frédéric Joliot (SHFJ), in the suburb of Paris, has a worldwide
recognized position in the Human Brain Mapping community, from
methodological developments (data acquisition, model and data
processing), to Cognitive Neuroscience and Clinical applications. The
computer vision team (ATOM) is an international leader for the
development of methods to map and to study the cortical folding
patterns and the cortex connectivity from MR data. These morphometric
methods are freely distributed to the brain imaging community for
applications on large databases of MR brain data ( http://brainvisa.info , thousand of
brains processed). Some of the databases dedicated to psychiatric
diseases and brain development are built in SHFJ. ATOM team develops also an original model of the inter-individual variability of the cortical folding patterns based on ontogeny. This interest in morphogenesis fits the research about phylogeny underlying EVAN network. |
