Together with the Erwin L. Hahn Institute, we are pleased to welcome Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Katrin Amunts (Jülich Research Center, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf) to a talk as part of our SFB 1280 invites colloquium series!

Prof. Dr. Katrin Amunts was scientific director of the European Union flagship project Human Brain Project from 2016 until the end of the project in 2023. She will give a lecture on “the multi-level brain atlas: greater than the sum of its parts” – also known as the Jülich Brain Atlas, which she heads. It is a three-dimensional, so-called “living atlas” of the human brain, containing maps of over 200 cortical and subcortical regions. These are continuously expanded to bring together brain data in a uniform reference framework.

Prof. Dr. Amunts’ goal is to better understand the organizational principles of the human brain. She describes her motivation as follows: “I want to understand how the structure of our brain is related to our thinking, feeling, and development as humans—and to help people with brain diseases. A good atlas is crucial for understanding disease processes and developing new therapies.”

The talk will take place at 3:00 p.m. on October 15, 2025, in ID 03/445 at RUB.
