TVB C++: A Fast and Flexible Back‐End for The Virtual Brain
TVB C++ is a streamlined and fast C++ Back‐End for The Virtual Brain (TVB), designed to make it as flexible as TVB, and FAST. Another pillar is to be fully compatible with TVB so easy bindings can be created from Python. Users can easily configure TVB C++ to execute the same code but with enhanced performance and parallelism.

Integrin α8‐Mediated Pericyte Morphogenesis Controls Blood‐Brain Barrier Integrity
This study highlights that ITGA8 impacts pericyte morphology and function, both crucial for BBB integrity, via RhoA/ROCK signaling, thus influencing TGF‐β1 activation through cytoskeletal tension and ECM interactions. Notably, in post‐ischemic recovery models, ITGA8 deficiency exacerbates vascular dysfunction by impairing pericyte‐mediated BBB ...
