Topological Adventures in Neuroscience

Abstract

This survey consists of a brief overview of recent work at the interface of topology and neuroscience carried out primarily by a collaboration among the Blue Brain Project, the Laboratory for Topology and Neuroscience, and the Laboratory of Neural Microcircuity at the EPFL. The articles surveyed concern the algebraic topology of brain structure and function, and the topological charaterization and classification of neuron morphologies.
