چکیده

The Human Connectome Project consortium led by Washington University, University of Minnesota, and Oxford University is undertaking a systematic effort to map macroscopic human brain circuits and their relationship to behavior in a large population of healthy adults. This overview article focuses on progress made during the first half of the 5-year project in refining the methods for data acquisition and analysis. Preliminary analyses based on a finalized set of acquisition and preprocessing protocols demonstrate the exceptionally high quality of the data from each modality. The first quarterly release of imaging and behavioral data via the ConnectomeDB database demonstrates the commitment to making HCP datasets freely accessible. Altogether, the progress to date provides grounds for optimism that the HCP datasets and associated methods and software will become increasingly valuable resources for characterizing human brain connectivity and function, their relationship to behavior, and their heritability and genetic underpinnings.

Increasing the Analytical Accessibility of Multishell and Diffusion Spectrum Imaging Data Using Generalized Q-Sampling Conversion

Many diffusion MRI researchers, including the Human Connectome Project (HCP), acquire data using multishell (e.g., WU-Minn consortium) and diffusion spectrum imaging (DSI) schemes (e.g., USC-Harvard consortium). However, these data sets are not readily accessible to high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) analysis methods that are popular in connectomics analysis. Here we introduce a ...

Pew-Thian Yap, Guorong Wu,

T he human brain is organized into a collection of interacting networks with specialized functions to support various cognitive functions. The word “connectome” first burst on the scene with the work of Sporns et al. [1], who urged brain researchers to advance a comprehensive structural description of the elements and connections forming the human brain. An increasing body of evidence indicates...
