[Neuroinfo] Frontiers Research Topic on “Neuroinformatics of Large-Scale Brain Modelling”: Deadline Extended

[Padraig Gleeson]

**Dear all,

We are happy to inform you that we have extended the deadline for 
submissions to the Research Topic, jointly within Frontiers in 
Neuroinformatics and Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, on 
“Neuroinformatics of Large-Scale Brain Modelling”.

This Research Topic will document the various ways in which 
neuroinformatics approaches are being applied in large-scale brain 
modelling, informing readers on both established practices and emerging 
techniques.

We seek *Original Research, Review, Mini-Review, Hypothesis and Theory, 
Perspective, and Opinion articles* that cover, but are not limited to, 
the following topics:

  * New, biologically constrained,​​ large-scale brain models and
    modelling methodologies
  * New approaches to parameter optimization, parameter space
    exploration, and systematic tracking of simulation behaviour across
    parameter combinations
  * Informing neural models with genetic and multi-omic data from
    large-scale databases and individual patients/subjects
  * Systematic computational modelling studies on large numbers of
    subjects, and/or using large-scale open-access datasets (HCP, ABCD,
    etc.)
  * ‘Hybrid’ modelling schemes that combine mean-field with spiking
    network models
  * ‘Hybrid’ approaches to defining connectivity in large-scale brain
    models (e.g. supplementing tractography with microscopy data for
    higher-resolution subcortical connectivity structure)
  * Simulations using high-resolution neuroanatomical data from
    initiatives such as BigBrain, Allen Institute, etc.
  * ‘High-density’ (large number of regions; small parcels)
    connectome-based neural mass modelling
  * Ontologies, systems, and tools for definition and specification of
    large-scale neural models
  * Comparisons between detailed spiking/morphological simulations and
    neural mass model simulations
  * Comparisons between models based on high-resolution and
    low-resolution Allen atlas connectivities
  * Other neuroinformatics challenges and solutions in large-scale brain
    simulations

Full details can be found on the research topic webpage at: 
www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/16641/neuroinformatics-of-large-scale-brain-modelling 


If you are considering submitting, please submit an abstract by *1st 
Sept 2021*. Deadline for submission of full manuscripts is *15th Dec 2021*.

We look forward to hearing from you and sharing this exciting work with 
the community.

Your Research Topic co-editors,
