TL;DR: This paper examines existing methods to study the "Human Brain Connectome" with a specific focus on the neurophysiological ones, including the most commonly used structural and functional MRI, EEG, MEG and non-invasive brain stimulation techniques and measures of local and global brain connectivity.

TL;DR: Results show that even when given the exact same sets of underlying streamlines, the variability across protocols for bundle segmentation is greater than all other sources of variability in the virtual dissection process, including variability within protocols and variability across subjects.

TL;DR: Comparisons and differences between the occipital lobe tracts will be useful in establishing which circuitry in the macaque can serve as an accurate model for human visual cortex.

TL;DR: A review article as discussed by the authors provides an introduction to measurements and methods to study the human visual white matter using diffusion MRI, which allows us to measure the microstructural and macro-structural properties of the white matter in living human individuals; they allow us to trace long-range connections between neurons in different parts of the visual system and to measure biophysical properties of these connections.

TL;DR: The Open Diffusion Data Derivatives (O3D) repository is described: an integrated collection of preserved brain data derivatives and processing pipelines, published together using a single digital-object-identifier.
