Neurological scientists from around the world report on recent research into the spatial representation of biological quantities or properties in different parts of the human and non-human brain. Among the highlights are an algorithm that uses interictal subdural EEG data to discriminate between electrodes that lead to a seizure onset and those that do not, a new level of specificity in advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study brain function at levels as deep as neural processing, apoptosis and DNA damage response in post-mitotic neurons as mechanisms with potential as points of therapeutic intervention in neurodegenerative diseases, and temporal features of brain features of brain injury in three different developmental models of oxygen deprivation.
