🧠 How can digital brain models support real-world care?

At the Virtual Brain Twin (#VBT) Co-Lab in Bonn, patients, clinicians and researchers explored how personalised brain models could support clinical decision-making in conditions such as #epilepsy and #schizophrenia.

The focus: trustworthy, ethical and human-centred AI tools designed to support - not replace - clinicians.

🧠 #EuropeanMentalHealthWeek (4–8 May)

Mental health is shaped by social, economic and technological factors, not just individual ones.

At #EBRAINS, we use neuroscience tools, data integration and brain modelling to support better understanding of brain disorders and more personalised care.

At the #VirtualBrainTwin Co-Lab in Bonn, patients, clinicians, researchers, and expert users explored how VBT can support real-world care.

A clear takeaway: VBT is a decision-support tool, designed to assist clinicians and ultimately benefit patients.

🧠 Neuromodulators like dopamine reshape how neurons behave - but how exactly?

We asked Dr Ilaria Carannante (euroPSI, @Université Paris-Saclay, Institute of Neuroscience). Her new study shows it comes down to just 2 mechanisms: 🔁 switching 📊 scaling.

A unified framework. An open-source pipeline. A step toward more powerful brain models.

LMU Open Science Center’s FAIR Data Management expert, Reema Gupta, attended the EBRAINS Summit 2025 (@ebrains) with her team to present their NHP-EBRAINS project, an open-source pipeline turning messy multi-lab primate electrophysiology data into something actually FAIR and usable! 🧠

More details on NHP-EBRAINS here: https://gin.g-node.org/NHPRestingState/NHP-EBRAINS/wiki/

Some highlights from EBRAINS Summit 2025:
- Neurobagel’s (https://neurobagel.org/) approach to metadata hubs - creating an open-source ecosystem for distributed dataset harmonization and search for federated discovery without centralising everything.
- Martin Schrimpf (@mschrimpf) on NeuroAI, an interdisciplinary field merging neuroscience and AI, as well as the work Brain Score (https://www.brain-score.org/) is doing regarding model benchmarking.
- The BRiDGE project (https://bridge.incf.org/brain-research-international-data-governance-exchange) on making data and tools interoperable across international brain initiatives - important for roles at LMU labs that involve collaborating with data on international projects.
- Google Summer of Code (GSoC) (https://gitlab.ebrains.eu/ri/projects-and-initiatives/bids2ebrains/bids2ebrains) project on automating BIDS-to-KnowledgeGraph registration- this project aims to integrate BIDS-compliant neuroimaging datasets from external repositories into the EBRAINS Knowledge Graph.

💡A quick recap on some especially interesting booths at the summit:
The siibra-explorer booth (https://ebrains.eu/data-tools-services/tools/siibra-explorer), BIDS booth (https://bids.neuroimaging.io/index.html), Knowledge and Data services booth (https://ebrains.eu/data-tools-services/data-knowledge), and the Modeling and Simulation booth (https://ebrains.eu/data-tools-services/modelling-simulation).

Reema’s top highlight was finally meeting and having insightful conversations with the people behind the tools she works with every day and uses to build her project!
