TAMPA BAY, Fla., Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In 2013, then-President Obama launched the brain initiative, which allocated funding to map every neuron in the brain. Understanding how the brain works can revolutionize the lives of many Americans, solving the complex problems of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, depression, and traumatic brain injury (1). However, mapping the brain alone does not reveal how it functions. Different parts of the brain appear similar but function differently, and each person has unique brain anatomy (2).

Key Points: 
  • The need for data analysis has allocated neuroscience graduate students to solving complex computer science problems.
  • Dimitri Yatsenko's background in computer science gave him a unique perspective when his fascination with the human brain led him to neuroscience.
  • They develop data science frameworks, platforms, and services for collaborative research, focusing on neuroscience and AI.
  • While engaged in neuroscience research at Baylor College of Medicine, Dimitri started the DataJoint framework as an open source framework https://datajoint.org .
