The Symphony Inside Your Brain By Dr. Francis Collins Ever wonder what is it that makes you, you? Depending on whom you ask, there are a lot of different answers, but these days some of the world’s top neuroscientists might say: “You are your connectome.” Read the full article at: http://directorsblog.nih.gov/the-symphony-inside-your-brain/ >> more

Researchers for the first time are documenting the basic wiring of the brain, the complex relationships among billions of neurons that are responsible for reason, memory and emotion. The work eventually could lead to better understanding of schizophrenia, autism, multiple sclerosis and other disorders. >> more

Data from three human subjects represents the first release of DSI and Q-ball connectivity data from the Siemens 3T scanner. These images were obtained at an unprecedented 90 mT/m and 300 mT/m gradient strength. We encourage interested users to access the HCP database and explore these first-of-their-kind images. Watch for HCP-derived results volumes and connectivity […] >> more
