The Human Connectome: A Structural Description of the Human Brain
TLDR
A research strategy to achieve the connection matrix of the human brain (the human “connectome”) is proposed, and its potential impact is discussed.Abstract:
The connection matrix of the human brain (the human “connectome”) represents an indispensable foundation for basic and applied neurobiological research. However, the network of anatomical connections linking the neuronal elements of the human brain is still largely unknown. While some databases or collations of large-scale anatomical connection patterns exist for other mammalian species, there is currently no connection matrix of the human brain, nor is there a coordinated research effort to collect, archive, and disseminate this important information. We propose a research strategy to achieve this goal, and discuss its potential impact.read more

Information--Consciousness--Reality: How a New Understanding of the Universe Can Help Answer Age-Old Questions of Existence
TL;DR: The notion of symmetry was introduced by Newton as discussed by the authors and has been used to express the notion of invariance in modern physics, which is the concept that the manipulations of a system leave it unchanged.

Structural Deep Brain Network Mining
TL;DR: A Structural Deep Brain Network mining method to learn highly non-linear and structure-preserving representations of brain networks and a deep feature learning framework for combining supervised learning and unsupervised learning in a small-scale setting by augmenting Convolutional Neural Network with decoding pathways for reconstruction.

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging in preterm brain injury.
TL;DR: d-MRI is an effective tool for investigating preterm white matter injury and has the potential to be a biomarker of subsequent outcome and to evaluate efficacy of clinical interventions in this population of survivors of preterm birth.

Gene expression in the rodent brain is associated with its regional connectivity.
TL;DR: This question is addressed in the first large scale study of a prototypical mammalian rodent brain, using a combination of rat brain regional connectivity data with gene expression of the mouse brain to find that the connectivity of the majority of brain regions is highly predictable from their gene expression levels.

TL;DR: Multi-shell imaging sequences may improve sensitivity to developmental effects and models that leverage multi-shell information are often less sensitive to the confounding effects of motion.

Distributed Hierarchical Processing in the Primate Cerebral Cortex
TL;DR: A summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, a computerized database for storing and representing large amounts of information on connectivity patterns, and the application of these data to the analysis of hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex are reported on.

Sequence the Human Genome
TL;DR: This book aims to provide a history of Chinese modern art from 17th Century to the present day through the lens of 20th Century critics, practitioners, journalists, and mediaeval and modern-day critics.

Dynamic causal modelling.
TL;DR: As with previous analyses of effective connectivity, the focus is on experimentally induced changes in coupling, but unlike previous approaches in neuroimaging, the causal model ascribes responses to designed deterministic inputs, as opposed to treating inputs as unknown and stochastic.
