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

Denoise magnitude diffusion magnetic resonance images via variance-stabilizing transformation and optimal singular-value manipulation
TL;DR: The results show that the proposed denoising framework can significantly improve SNR across the entire brain, leading to substantially enhanced performances for estimating diffusion tensor related indices and for resolving crossing fibers when compared to another competing method.

Individuality manifests in the dynamic reconfiguration of large-scale brain networks during movie viewing
Changwon Jang,Elizabeth Quattrocki Knight,Chongwon Pae,Bumhee Park,Shin-Ae Yoon,Hae-Jeong Park +5 more
TL;DR: Arousal level significantly modulates inter-subject variability in functional connectivity, edge patterns, and modularity, and particularly enhances the synchrony of rich-club edges, implying that individuality resides in the dynamic reconfiguration of large-scale brain networks in response to a stream of cognitive demands.

TL;DR: The potential connectivity map of all known neuron types in the rodent hippocampal formation is computed by supplementing scantly available synaptic data with spatial distributions of axons and dendrites from the open-access knowledge base Hippocampome.org, yielding novel insights on its functional operations at the computationally crucial level of neuron types.

Graph representation learning in bioinformatics: trends, methods and applications.
TL;DR: Graph representation learning aims to embed graph into a low-dimensional space while preserving graph topology and node properties as mentioned in this paper, which has recently raised widespread interest in both machine learning and bioinformatics communities.

TL;DR: A systematic literature review on Subjective Cognitive Decline examined whether the resemblance of brain connectome and functional connectivity alterations in SCD with respect to MCI, AD and HC can help to draw conclusions on the progression of SCD to more advanced stages of dementia.

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.

The columnar organization of the neocortex.
TL;DR: The modular organization of nervous systems is a widely documented principle of design for both vertebrate and invertebrate brains of which the columnar organization of the neocortex is an example.
