معرفی
Katrin Amunts is a University Professor at the Cécile and Oskar Vogt Institute for Brain Research of Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf and heads the Institute for Neuroscience and Medicine (INM-1) at Forschungszentrum Jülich. Her research focuses on creating multi-level brain atlases through cytoarchitectonic, molecular, and fiber architecture analysis.
- Director of the Cécile and Oskar Vogt Institute for Brain Research
- Head of INM-1 at Forschungszentrum Jülich
- Pioneered the BigBrain ultra-high-resolution 3D human brain model
Research Interests: Combining image analysis, high-performance computing, and big data analytics to map brain structure-function relationships, intersubject variability, and interspecies differences. Her work underpins the Human Brain Project.
Key Publications: Her research output includes probabilistic cytoarchitectonic atlases, comparative studies of avian and human brain circuits, and ultra-high-resolution models. These focus on cortical organization, receptor mapping, and neuroethical frameworks.
