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

Complex network measures of brain connectivity: uses and interpretations.
Mikail Rubinov,Olaf Sporns +1 more
TL;DR: Construction of brain networks from connectivity data is discussed and the most commonly used network measures of structural and functional connectivity are described, which variously detect functional integration and segregation, quantify centrality of individual brain regions or pathways, and test resilience of networks to insult.

Dissociable Intrinsic Connectivity Networks for Salience Processing and Executive Control
William W. Seeley,Vinod Menon,Alan F. Schatzberg,Jennifer Keller,Gary H. Glover,Heather A. Kenna,Allan L. Reiss,Michael D. Greicius +7 more
TL;DR: Two distinct networks typically coactivated during functional MRI tasks are identified, anchored by dorsal anterior cingulate and orbital frontoinsular cortices with robust connectivity to subcortical and limbic structures, and an “executive-control network” that links dorsolateral frontal and parietal neocortices.

TL;DR: The spatial and topological centrality of the core within cortex suggests an important role in functional integration and a substantial correspondence between structural connectivity and resting-state functional connectivity measured in the same participants.

Beyond Phrenology: What Can Neuroimaging Tell Us About Distributed Circuitry?
TL;DR: It will be shown that the conjoint manipulation of bottom-up and top-up inputs to an area can be used to test for interactions between them, in elaborating cortical responses, and the prevalence of top-down influences and the plausibility of generative models of sensory brain function are pointed to.

The Connectional Organization of the Cortico-thalamic System of the Cat
TL;DR: An extensive collation of connection tracing studies revealed approximately 1500 extrinsic connections between the cortical areas and thalamic nuclei of the cat cerebral hemisphere, and the organization of the entire cortico-thalamic network was investigated.
