NeSys - Neural systems and graphics computing laboratoryGroup home page at UiO NeSys is a computational neuroanatomy and neuroinformatics laboratory. The research of the group focuses on 1) the development of new and powerful methods for computerized data acquisition, 3-D reconstruction, visualization and quantitative analyses of features in brain tissues, 2) data management and construction of 3-D brain atlases of experimental data, and 3) investigations on organization and re-organization of brain systems architecture in rat and mouse models, and 4) in vivo imaging in the context of multi-modality brain atlasing. ChallengesMuch of the research carried out today on rodent models generates high resolution image data, allowing characterization and analysis of brain molecular distribution, gene expression, and connectivity. It is of great importance not only to record more data but also to integrate data, re-use data in novel combinations, and perform more powerful analyses. To this end, data management systems and advanced analytical tools are needed. Structure and structure-function relationships are often better understood by introducing 3-D reconstruction and advanced visualization and modelling tools. Projects
