## Resource

A holy grail of the multiscale approach for physical brain modelling is to link the different scales from molecules, via cells and local neural networks, up to whole-brain models. The goal of the Virtual Brain Twin project, lead by today's guest, is to use personalized human whole-brain models to aid clinicians in treating brain ailments. The podcast discusses how such models are presently made using neural field models, starting with neuron population dynamics rather than molecular dynamics.
