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

Structural and functional clusters of complex brain networks
TL;DR: This work investigates synchronization dynamics on the corticocortical network of the cat by modeling each node (cortical area) of the network with a sub-network of interacting excitable neurons and finds that the network displays clustered synchronization behavior, and the dynamical clusters coincide with the topological community structures observed in the anatomical network.

Functional Alignment with Anatomical Networks is Associated with Cognitive Flexibility.
John D. Medaglia,Weiyu Huang,Elisabeth A. Karuza,Apoorva Kelkar,Sharon L. Thompson-Schill,Alejandro Ribeiro,Danielle S. Bassett +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied emerging tools from graph signal processing to examine whether BOLD signals measured at each point in time correspond to complex underlying anatomical networks in 28 individuals performing a perceptual task that probed cognitive flexibility.

Weight Agnostic Neural Networks
Adam Gaier,David Ha +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a search method for neural network architectures that can already perform a task without any explicit weight training. But how important are the weight parameters of a neural network compared to its architecture, they question to what extent neural network architecture alone, without learning any weight parameters, can encode solutions for a given task.

Establishing a link between sex-related differences in the structural connectome and behaviour
Birkan Tunç,Berkan Solmaz,Drew Parker,Theodore D. Satterthwaite,Mark A. Elliott,Monica E. Calkins,Kosha Ruparel,Raquel E. Gur,Ruben C. Gur,Ragini Verma +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that behavioural sex differences, which indicate complementarity of males and females, are accompanied by related differences in brain structure across development, and that these behavioural and structural patterns correlate with each other, establishing a reliable link between brain and behaviour.

Specific and Evolving Resting-State Network Alterations in Post-Concussion Syndrome Following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

TL;DR: The results suggest that the post-concussion syndrome is associated with specific abnormalities in functional brain network that may contribute to explain deficits typically observed in PCS patients.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
