The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is an ambitious 5-year effort to characterize brain connectivity and function and their variability in healthy adults using multiple imaging modalities along with extensive behavioral and genetic data.Abstract:
The Human Connectome Project (HCP) is an ambitious 5-year effort to characterize brain connectivity and function and their variability in healthy adults. This review summarizes the data acquisition plans being implemented by a consortium of HCP investigators who will study a population of 1200 subjects (twins and their non-twin siblings) using multiple imaging modalities along with extensive behavioral and genetic data. The imaging modalities will include diffusion imaging (dMRI), resting-state fMRI (R-fMRI), task-evoked fMRI (T-fMRI), T1- and T2-weighted MRI for structural and myelin mapping, plus combined magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography (MEG/EEG). Given the importance of obtaining the best possible data quality, we discuss the efforts underway during the first two years of the grant (Phase I) to refine and optimize many aspects of HCP data acquisition, including a new 7T scanner, a customized 3T scanner, and improved MR pulse sequences.read more

TL;DR: The saimie paper suggests how susceptible individuals could reduce their total intake of aluminium and suggests that although definite proof is still lacking, there is more than enough evidence to fuel further epidemiological investigation.

Anatomical accuracy of brain connections derived from diffusion MRI tractography is inherently limited
Cibu Thomas,Cibu Thomas,Frank Q. Ye,M. Okan Irfanoglu,Pooja Modi,Kadharbatcha S. Saleem,David A. Leopold,Carlo Pierpaoli +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that, even with high-quality data, DWI tractography alone is unlikely to provide an anatomically accurate map of the brain connectome, and suggest that there is an inherent limitation in determining long-range anatomical projections based on voxel-averaged estimates of local fiber orientation obtained from DWI data that is likely to be overcome by improvements in data acquisition and analysis alone.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used three of the largest neuroimaging datasets currently available, with a total sample size of around 50,000 individuals, to quantify brain-wide association studies effect sizes and reproducibility as a function of sample size.

Superficial white matter fiber systems impede detection of long-range cortical connections in diffusion MR tractography
Colin Reveley,Anil K. Seth,Carlo Pierpaoli,Afonso C. Silva,David C. Yu,Richard C. Saunders,David A. Leopold,Frank Q. Ye +7 more
TL;DR: Current and future high-resolution dMRI studies of the human brain will need to develop methods to overcome the challenges posed by superficial white matter systems to determine long-range anatomical connections accurately.
