Amin Saberi - Laminar thickness covariance in the BigBrain in association to cortical hierarchy and connectivity

Biography: PhD student at the Max Planck Institute, Jülich, Germany

Abstract: The isocortical layers show spatial variations in thickness and cytoarchitecture across the neocortex. Leveraging maps of the cortical layers based on 3D human brain histology, we aimed to characterize the systematic covariation of laminar structure in the cortex and its functional consequences. We identified a principal axis of laminar thickness covariance which differentiated the dominance of infra- versus supragranular layer thickness and was co-aligned with maps of cortical hierarchy.
